>>> I'm not paying again for data that's already available on my cable system.
If you are ever buying newspaper, why don't you complain to the newspaper company that you can read the same news on Google News or online free. They should have made the newspapers free than.
From what I learned from last month discussions in mythtv mailing list, the information it self is not sold, but the effort on the data to make it consistent. I heard that tv networks just send different format of files (sometimes even in word). TMS collects the information and makes it more usable. So they charge for the rights of the XML formatted data, not the data it self. And for schedules direct guy's work do not forget the hardware requirements.
I am a 2 year mythtv user and I really like it. Even my wife started to use more advanced functions of mythtv. So I am willing to pay the $5 monthly fee.

Why not use something like Jabref? Easy to manage the references?
