Well writing a XML output module might be a nice addon to the Wktivoguide
program.

If your intrested in going forward, I can put you in touch with the head
guide data people who look after the system. Of course they would help with
this. last thing anyone needs is more work ;)

Yep been there and done that. We handle the guidedata time zone issues of OZ
wide guidedata. fun isn't it!? :)

Well at the start we provided this level of guidedata, even when the numbers
were small..... Was easier from the start.

Nice to know. Like I said above, a XML output module for wktivoguide might
save some work.

No problems... I'm looking for the MythTV site for oz... if there isn't one,
I might add one in!
