I know this is a little off topic and I appologies, I am having problems getting updates for ACT Free to air programming information when I run mythfilldatabase I get the following errors.
d1 doesn't provide data for all states, even though their web service claims otherwise. In those states (SA, where I am, is one) you need to use an alternate tv_grab_au that scrapes another site. One written by Damon Searle (thanks btw!) uses tvguide.ninemsn.com.au. I can repost that if needed.
The additional "advantage" of using the ninemsn scraper is that you get program information for ABC 2 and SBS News if you are using a DVB card. Not a massive advantage I will admit, but an advantage nonetheless.
The script will need a little modification to add the new channels - look for the section defining channels for your region (circa line 260 for Melbourne) and add $channels("ABC2")="ABC2" and $channels("SBS News")="SBSN". This will cause the new channels to appear with appropriately named XMLTV IDs.
SBS News is not likely to be of much interest to you unless you speak a language other than English. ABC 2 can be good for catching programs that were missed due to conflicts, though they do seem to repeat stuff ad-nauseum. (Sure, I can now catch MediaWatch, but I don't really need to see it five times a week)
