I wouldn't mind checking out that config file. I use the ninemsn grabber (sydney) at the moment, but wouldn't mind trying the OzTivo guide. Here you go. Note that this is a .py file called, in my case, tv_grab_au_tuhs.py. Also, you will need to register on www.tvguide.org.au to get a username

I don't think that's correct. The other way is to use the OzTivo guide data which does not have copyright issues. And it's free, unlike IceTV's data. But how are they getting the data in the first place? Surely if the tv stations are copyrighting the material, then OzTivo (And IceTV's for that

IceTV was started as there was no EPG in Australia. The main man behind IceTV is Peter Vogel (one of the inventors of the Fairlight CMI). But no we are definitely our own company. :) I think for MS the biggest stopping point would be going to all the effort (and cost) of setting up an EPG

How do you use the OzTivo guide in MythTV? The two tv_grab_au scripts I have tried so far have huge gaps, are often plain wrong and dont cover all the available channels. I realise its mostly not the scripts fault, but the source material thats the problem - but what script makes the best of
