Australian EPG finally announced.

God, I've been waiting for this for ages. To be able to surf through seven days of programming for any channel is exactly what I've been craving. This will solve many a scheduling issue.

Seven, Nine, Ten, NBN and Prime have agreed to supply their programming plans to be displayed electronically via digital set top boxes across the country. This in turn means that I, and others just like me, can do away with ratty TV guides, inconvenient online .pdf reports and the clunky online TV guides.

The announcement comes into effect on the following dates:

Nine: Monday, 19th November.
NBN: Monday, 19th November.
Prime: Monday, 19th November.
Ten: Monday, 19th November.
Southern Cross: Monday, 26th November.
Seven: Tuesday, 1st January.

ABC, SBS and WIN are already providing data to the system.
