eBroadcast's web site seems to suggest they produce their own and
license it to others just as HWW does. They have a page about
syndication services:

http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/content_syndication.html

It would be interesting to contact them and see if they would provide
the data to end users in a useful format for a reasonable fee.

eBroadcast were the 'provider' of data in tv_grab_au 0.1.

HWW's syndication page http://www.hww.com.au/syndication/tv/ has a bit
of a 'shopping list' for sites to grab from!
