That's a good idea, it's something I could do, but to be honest I wasn't 
actually planning on providing EPG permanently, I didn't see the need since 
you are providing yours. I thought it might be useful keeping it up while you 
were having sat troubles.

I did have crazy idea the other day of making a version of epgsnoop that 
inserts the EPG data into a database. Then writing a proper xmltv grabber 
that would integrate into myth for people in NZ to use. That would access a 
web service with the data. This type of arrangement could be designed to 
benefit from multiple data feeds i.e. two or three people running the 
epgsnoop script locally which uploads the data.

Whilst fun to do the only problem with the idea is that it might get noticed 
by the people who "own" the data. I haven't decided yet.
