MythTV Scheduling Service Reveals Pricing
An anonymous reader writes "A group of open source developers have been working behind the scenes to create a new service known as Schedules Direct to provide affordable scheduling data for North American users of MythTV. Today, they've announced an initial pricing plan of $15 for a 3 month block, non-recurring. Details are still fairly light at the moment, but there's a mailing list and a FAQ available on the site — one notable tidbit is that the developers 'expect pricing to drop by the end of the initial term. Our goal is $20/year.' This comes weeks before the planned shutdown of Zap2it Labs' Data Direct service mentioned previously."
They probably have to buy hardware too, which is why the cost is expected to drop in a few months.

I will happily pay this, considering that the alternative is to do all manual scheduling. I have no idea when or where the shows I watch are on, and that's the way I likes it!
But speaking of alternatives, how is that screen-scraper you're apparently releasing as open-source?
(And speaking of screen scraping, how's MythWeather working for you lately?
Hell, if it brakes, I'll give you a new one!
And if it brakes they give me a new one.
Naw, if it brakes you should probably take it to Meineke...
"Ladies and gentlemen, my killbot features Lotus Notes and a machine gun. It is the finest available."
And if it brakes they give me a new one.
Will they include a dictionary with it?
You've stumped me. I'll submit an "Ask Slashdot" and get back to you.
