So does anyone know what Microsoft is doing for TV Guide information in
Australia for it's Media Centre Product?

Thanks

Damon,
Great work, I'm also in Canberra, so thats perfect.
The first time I ran it there were a few messages about trying to read
from closed file handles, and it returned almost immediately, there was
no data (besides channel ids) in guide.xml.
I ran it again, and that time it worked, not sure what the problem was.
There were still a few errors about uninitialised variables in
concatenations etc, but it did eventually complete, and it loads into
myth fine. I've had a quick browse through the results with mythweb and
it all looks good.

The grabber takes quite a long time, is there any way to parallelise the
downloads perhaps??

Thanks again for your efforts.
Dave
