I had a brief play with this a few weeks ago - it seemed very good
from looking at the XML output files.  It also seems the right way of
doing things rather than scraping the rt web site!

However there seemed to be quite a few things missing for a full
implementation, like how to ensure mythtv is tuned to a multiplex at
the right time, and the glue for inserting the output into the myth
database.

Do you have any notes / scripts on that?  I'd really like to give it a
proper go!

Cheers

Nick
