[mythtv-users] xmltv grab_uk_rt or EIT data, which is the best option?

Some people don't even know they're born! In Australia there's a total
shit-fight about program guides because the TV stations don't allow it
to be downloaded from the web. So the normal XML method is tricky. And
the only program data we get on the DVB-T stream is what's on next on
the channel you are watching. Not even a whole day's worth for even 1
channel, never mind 7 days! for all channels.

Well, I feel better now that's off my chest :)
