DVB guide data can't replace xmltv in Australia either. Last I checked, our networks were only transmitting information about the next two programs. We can get xmltv data for up to a week via the internet. I thought Taylor was objecting more to getting channel metadata from Zap2It, rather than guide data specifically. All of the other metadata should be available in on-air MPEG/ATSC tables. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
