[mythtv-users] New Australian XMLTV grabber

[Damon Searle]

Fred: Thanks for the bug report.
Eyal: That is ok, mythfilldatabase is trying to pass a config-file parameter
to the script, but the script isn't configured to handle it. It's only a
warning, just let it run.
Michael: The time it takes depends on your internet connection speed more
than anything. It has to download a lot of data, even for 5 FTA channels.
Foxtel listings would probably take many hours. If you want to modify it to
do foxtel it should just be a matter of possibly changing the URL slightly,
listing all the foxtel channels in the variables, and setting it to handle
the foxtel channels in the if/elseif (if ($channel =~ /$ABC/)...) part
further down. Some sort of hash map is probably smarter for a large number
of channels though.
