The ninemsn site currently 404's for 18/03/05 and 19/03/05 for free to 
air (I'm in Adelaide, but I assume it affects all states), even using 
their own links via "Tomorrow's TV" from the web page. I'm assuming 
this is a temporary glitch and they'll get with the program eventually. 
Probably their techs are off for the weekend ;)

In the meantime, users need to manually keep deleting the cached 404 
responses in order to pick up the data up when it (hopefully) appears. 
Would be nice if the grabber could detect this.

Cheers,

Matthew.
