3. There is not a lot of difference between ozTiVo and jRobbos data for free to air TV. Both have variable availability of between 4 and seven days of programs for different channels. The data from ICETV is more complete for Free to Air... but you have to subscribe.

The jRobbo data and ozTiVo data both are not straight XML and need some special processing. jRobbo is zipped, and must be unzipped afterdownloading (my program does this for you), and the ozTiVo data does not contain any "channel" tags, only "programme" tags. Hence the specific setup for these.

Not sure about your last query... I have only recorded from EPG or just by pressing "Record" on the remote. Maybe someone else will know.

Thanks heaps for answering my queries Kev!
Definitely makes things clearer for me. Great app that definitely makes things easier for people just branching out into the world of TV cards to get program info!!
