Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Won't Fix

Bug description:
The german EPG source (tv_grab_de_tvtoday), shipped with Mythbuntu 9.04, does not work anymore (already a long time).

It should be replaced by a working EPG source. As currently there is no EPG source for Germany, working out-of-the-box and providing full EPG data (e.g. a description text), I recommend to replace tv_grab_de_tvtoday by xmltv.info. This one at least provides correct times and a title of each show (but unfortunatly no detailed descriptions).

This source also provides a grabber which works for me. It can be found at http://www.xmltv.info/xw/default/wiki/Grabber. I could assist, if you need english translations of this german webpage, to integrate this EPG source into Mythbuntu 9.10.

If there will be a new EPG source available in the next months, providing also detailled descriptions, one could think about using this one, but currently nothing like this is being available.
