[mythtv-users] New Australian XMLTV grabber

[Markus Buchanan]

I think this went astray somewhere so I am posting the reply again...

The PC has definitely got connectivity, ping and everything else (web, 
ssh, email etc) all work perfectly, this script just seems to be unable 
to download data for some reason.

Is there any chance it may be a firewall/router issue do you think?

Myth is working perfectly now, all except for program data.
