Hi,
To all of those who have never actually tried the MSN grabber. It
really is great. Very complete, consistent and reliable. The data
comes from HWW who also supply to most other online tv guides (yahoo,
seven, yourtv, etc). It is therefore essentially the definitive source
of oz guide data. It doesnt get any better than that.
Seconded. The MSN data is top notch and worth the occasional pain. The
grabber script is also fairly well-written, although a few more sanity
checks to better detect failures due to site changes would be good.
That said, if IceTV could guarantee this level of quality and reduce
price just a little, I'd probably switch just to avoid the occasional
evening perl debugging session and possibility of NineMSN declaring
war on mythtv :/
Matt.
I agree and I'd also like to add that I'd probably switch to IceTV also
if they added foxtel/optus channels.
Maybe if I have some time I might go over the script and add more
comments (it took me a little while to figure out what it was trying to
do) and hopefully make it more capable of handling slight changes to
the html. It won't be very pretty though, I know just enough perl to
get by (as you could see from my previous post) :)
