[QUOTE="Alconja, post: 66653, member: 22517"] It certainly used to have a week of data for me (sydney) previously, but I haven't checked since the current data issues (ninemsn) came up. As for waiting for DUGG to come back, I remember reading over on the DVBOwners forums that JRobbo's data comes from 4 seperate scrapers, but none of them are getting all the data properly at the moment and its a pretty safe bet that one of the scrapers is DUGG. Then point i'm getting at is that when DUGG (or one of the other scrapers) comes back, JRobbo's data will come back. For the long term I think its a much better process to have a minimal number of scrapers running against sites like ninemsn's and putting the gathered xml epg somewhere central. Then everyone who wants the data can get it ready-made from a central source (whether its JRobbo's one or another... perhaps the MP team could set up a single scraper somewhere & host the zipped xml files on the MP servers). This has two benefits: 1) It means we get the same data much quicker, since you just have to download one smallish zip file, rather than hundreds of web pages. and 2) It means that there won't be heaps of people all pounding sites like ninemsn requestng every single page over & over (which would go off like a red light in their logs & cause them to try & block us out again using ever more complicated tactics). Sorry for the rant... Just my humble opinion. :) [/QUOTE]
