[mythtv-users] We don't need no stinking surveys!

And risk all of us going back to screen scraping?  It's unlikely.  We're 
too small of a group to produce much profit, and the diminished 
bandwidth costs from no more screen scraping, along with the data they 
will gather from future surveys, far outweighs what profit they might make.

More likely, the surveys will get longer, or they will ask for something 
like viewing data (personally, I'm totally fine with the idea of sending 
them anonymous -- and verifiably so, since it's open source -- viewing 
habit data, it's more than a fair trade for accurate listings)
