The old script produces the 10Cap.d1.com style ids, not the website; I 
already map channels names from the site, e.g. "SBS NEWS", to xmltvids 
like "news.sbs.com.au". The config file produced by 'tv_grab_au 
--configure' is easily modified to map them to your own preferred names:

   <http://immir.com/tv_grab_au.conf>

All you will need to do is edit ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_au.conf to contain 
lines like this (since you are obviously in Canberra too):

ABC ACT : dvbfree.Canberra.2
ABC2 : dvbfree.Canberra.ABC2
WIN TELEVISION NSW : dvbfree.Canberra.WIN
# etc

Done!
