[clug] Will pay money to get mythtv box working

[freegazer]

EPG information in Australia  seems to be a work in progress, from the
little I have found on the subject the networks are holding onto the
information for paying clients. There seems to be a couple of RSS
feeds with this data but all the ones I have found are still
pay-to-subscribe. if anyone knows the location of a reliable, free,
EPG feed please, please let me know.
( I would love to be wrong in this case)
