I kinda think we ought to do the right thing by the tvguide.org.au
guys. If we're going to suddenly latch onto them, now that they are
the only decent provider of free guide data, then I think we should
repay that by making whatever we do available to them. So if we get
more data legitimately than they currently get, we should provide a
means for them to supplement the tvguide.org.au database with it and
then use the grabber that they already have to suck that data down
onto our MythTV boxes.
