Program Data for MythTV initial details announced

[Shawn K. O'Shea]

Yesterday, SchedulesDirect (the group formed to solve the MythTV
program data dilemna) announced initial details of their listing
service. Basically it'll be 15$ for 3 months, non-recurring. Once they
get an idea of a subscriber base, they're planning on creating more
longterm subscription plans with the hopes of going 20$/yr.

For those not in the know, Zap2It Labs, who was previously providing
TV listing via  a free subscription service announced that they would
be discontinuing the service as of Sept 1. Folks from MythTV, xmltv
and MacProgramGuide created SchedulesDirect and licensed the data from
Tribune (who owns Zap2It and the actual data).

More info available on their website: http://schedulesdirect.org/
They've also setup an announce list that you can subscribe to here:
