Tthere are 2 ways of getting the EPG:

1) Let myth run it
2) Set up a cron job to run it from a shell script.

I think most of us Aussies take the 2nd option as there isn't an official
tv_grab_au. So in the setup change whatever it is that calls the tv_grab_au
(can't remember here it is) and just do it all as a cron job by setting up a
shell script which a) runs tv_grab_au and b) runs mythfilldatabase to load
the data.

I can share my shell script if you like.

HTH,
