Thanks Will, for that and the other info - I believe it is in fact <br />
rohbags' tv_grab_au script that is currently being distributed with <br />
KnoppMyth. It strikes me that it will now need to be modified, since <br />
it will no longer be able to scrape any PayTV data from D1. (I am <br />
Bcc-ing both you and rohbags in on this post, jic he's not aware of this yet).<br />

I believe the source code is on the HMC, which I think the GPL <br />
licence says it's supposed to be? Unfortunately I have no hacker <br />
skills, mad or otherwise!<br />
<br />
I have posted your suggestions to the HMC forum at <br />
<a href="www.dumbmonkey.atomhosting.info/hmc">www.dumbmonkey.atomhosting.info/hmc</a> in the fervent hope that others <br />
who aren't such newbies as myself may be able to use them for the <br />
benefit of all!<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Ralph. <br />
