RSS For Australian TV.
eBroadcast Australia has a TV Guide syndication in Australia link on its new look site. It doesn’t link directly to the XML/RSS feed, but does have an interesting announcement.
Some of the entertainment content you see throughout the eBroadcast consumer network is available for licensing. Online portals, print publications, mobile networks, consumer devices, phone services, personal homepages and education organisations around the nation are just some of the mediums that have found our content useful, relevant and extremely cost effective (and in some cases, free).
All content available for syndication is produced in-house right here in Australia by our own expert team using technology developed over the past decade.
For more information regarding eBroadcast’s entertainment content, please make an enquiry.
It’s a shame that it’s not just available, but it’s a neat move in the right direction, and we’d be keen to know what uses would be free.

The only RSS for TV guides I have found for Australia comes from the ABC: for ABC TV only, of course. RSS feed is http://abc.net.au/syndication/tv_epg.xml

Actually there is one from d1.com.au that is part of mythtv.
Here’s an example link:

I’m using the above d1.com.au links for my mythtv system.
Note - there are no Perth EPG items on there - I have to use Melbourne instead (and hope there are few differences in regularly scheduled programs).
Cheers,
Richard.

We provide a 7-day advance EPG in XML for a range of media centres. Have a look at www.icetv.com.au. Currently Sydney and Melbourne data is available and we hope to add all main centres soon.
