[mythtv-users] New Australian XMLTV grabber

[David Collett]

Whats all this about d1?
I dont believe anyone is abusing them. The threaded script thats been
posted is to grab stuff from ninemsn, not d1. And it was only written
because d1 died! I doubt 10 hits at a time (rather than one) is going to
bring ninemsn to its knees.
