Have patience my friend.

I know Jaidev [and I guess Tim too] are working as fast as they can. Hey they and us all have regular day jobs as well you know :-)

I've been working with Jaidev on and off as much as possible since before this forum started on sorting this problem out for good.

I know Jaidev [just] returned from holiday.

I have also been out of action for a few weeks over April/May so things slowed down, but we're all back doing our normal jobs now, so...

...I believe we are getting closer to the guide data nirvana we all want.

I guess you realise now, [that along with some of us 'old timers' who realised this quite some time ago] website scraping is not the long term answer it was once hoped to be.
