[mythtvnz] xmltv

[Simon Green]

There are also two other possible benefits depending on the source you use:

   1. Consistency of title names, so that (for example) House , 'House MD'
   and 'Mouse M.D.' all appear the same, which is helpful for series linking.
   2. Retrieval of IMDB or other Internet based information.
