[mythtv-users] Australians: can you help me gather some data?

Hi Xander, I too would be glad to help, but you may be over-estimating
people's abilities to download and compile code. I have no idea how to
download all those files from github and hardly, hardly ever compile
anything. If you could make it a bit easier to get the software and run it
then you might get a bigger response.

Also, just thought I'd mention that Shepherd does a great job in providing
guide data in Australia, though you probably already know that.
