Just checking in to find out if anyone has switched their MythTV setups
over to Schedules Direct [1]? ("Schedules Direct is a non-profit
organization that provides raw U.S./Canadian tv listing data to Free and
Open Source Applications. Those applications then use the data to
provide things like PVR functionality, search tools, and private channel
grids.")For those not following along, a subsidiary of the Tribune Media cartel (Zap2It Labs) had been providing the data gratis to the community using their own server resources; something's changed and they've decided not to do that. Schedules Direct was formed as a non-profit and has scrambled to license the data and pass it on to the many PVR communities. Interestingly, they approached a number of companies which had accumulated the data, but were not able to work out a payment with anyone other than the Tribune folks.
