No pressure, it's a quiet time of year :)

How about a ubuntu package? There have been a few cases recently where
a packaging update might have been handy, like when the
freeview.xml.gz file changed websites. There were certainly a few
users caught out by that.

Then again I'm not really sure how many users it has, there are still
only in the order of 200 users on this mailing list.

I know people use your script for tvheadend too.

Be interesting to know from the owner of epg.org.nz how many hits
he/she gets a day - not that they are all using tv_grab_nz-py to get
the data either.
