Hi,

This has been discussed previously on this list. If you search the archives
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/) you'll see that
there are people doing this, but there are legal problems. One is the
guide data... selling information that you grabbed from a company's
website (information which they in turn pay for) or are given for
non-commersial use only may tick someone off..
