No More TV Listings For MythTV Users

Posted by kdawson on from the elephino-what's-on dept.

Ryan Brown writes "As of September 1, the free XML TV guide service at zap2it labs has shut its doors due to misuse issues, as well as internal business issues. Now that Linux users, and most PVR users for that matter, are nearing the end of their last fetched TV guide, what free alternatives exist that can replace this much-needed service?"

    Everyone expects everything to be free. Free health care, free food, free education. Tax the rich, they can afford it bla bla bla. Too many have been watching way too many star trek shows where everything is free. Welcome to economics 101....things COSTS MONEY.

      The doctor was kind of a bitch though (female) :-P

    Bah terms of service. If they didn't want people stealing it, they shouldn't make it available.
