Meh, why is none of these scripts a proper xmltv grabber? (add proper
caching so it works well with the 2 downloads per day restriction!)

If they had a demo feed of half a dozen programs but without the 14 day
delay and download restriction we could even add them to the nightly
tester and give them the same quality assurance that other grabbers
get... http://www.crustynet.org.uk/~xmltv-tester/squeeze/nightly/

Here's a sample

PS: Yes, once we have the new mythtv-setup with apiconfig you get that
for free, too.
