[mythtv-users] Problem with Apple Trailer Grabber

Apple changed stuff yesterday when they released the Avatar trailer.
Now you can only download from quicktime. If you are able to change it
so that you can give the quicktime user agent then you will be allowed
to download again. I know you can do it with wget:
