[mythtv-users] Australians: can you help me gather some data?

Apologies for being slightly OT, but I would like to compare some OTA 
dvb data with that from other states.

The data I'm talking about is the Freeview EPG (the one that works only 
on their devices).

For a while I have been using the EPG data to generate an xmltv file for 
mythfilldatabase, which has worked quite well. I am now doing a rewrite 
(in perl rather than c++) so that others can benefit.

So, What I would like is a dump of the DSMCC data from your area. It 
shouldn't matter what channel you use; they all carry it here in WA.
I've modified a version of rb-download to download the data and exit 
after no new data is found.

Hopefully the readme is detailed enough. I need the 3 folders it 
creates; cache, carousels, services. One they're tarred up (gz or bzip2 
preferred) it should be a small file, direct email should be fine.

It would also be helpful if you can provide me a copy of the 
channels.conf file (so I can see which channels your actually receive), 
and your region (e.g. nsw Sydney; qld regional, etc)

Thanks for any help!


PS. if any New Zealanders read this, you're welcome to try too; I recall 
from a windows based project to do this that the data is very similar.
