Re: In QLD - Where can u find the TV G-Codes online?
Forget it
G-Codes (if they exist) would only tell your VCR the 'scheduled' time of a TV show.
Australian TV is the worlds worst for schedule adherence. It is extremely rare to have any prime time TV run any closer to schedule than 5 minutes and overruns of shows like "BigBrother", "DancingWithStars" etc etc often extend to as much as 45 minutes casuing run-on delays to the entire evenings schedule.
If you want to record anything you NEED to pad your recordings VERY VERY heavily and G-Codes just wont cut it.
Best option - scrap the VCR, Get (or build) a PVR AND make good use of BitTorrent and a Broadband connection!

Hi guys
Well good to know others suffer from the Aussie - non - timing (on-time) for programmes to start malarky!
Better just stick to the TV Guides and hope for the best!
