[mythtv-users] Zap2it Labs Shutting Down?

[Dean Collins]

ATT: Aussie Tivo/MythTV users

I'm wondering if due to the recent FTA between the USA and Australia
that the

Desktop V's Telstra

ce

ruling still holds? Or under the new bi-lateral agreements and American
company can deliver TV information even though CH9 says it's
copyrighted.
