Why would an Australian use anything other than Shepherd 
<http://svn.whuffy.com/>? Shepherd locates the best guide data it can 
find on the net, fills in missing guide data from other sources in case 
one breaks or is incomplete, then post-processes the complete data by 
adding extra information. Once installed, it not only updates the 
listings it updates itself when necessary.

IceTV is worthwhile for those that don't have MythTV. It can provide 
comparable TV facilities with a compatible recorder, for example Elgato 
on a Mac.
