I've just got an email back from tvcompass.com ( the company that
handles the RadioTimes PDA listings ) and they "have though about
providing a paid-for feed for 3rd party applications, possibly using the
XMLTV format" and said they would keep me updated. This sounds very
positive and I would encourage any other UK users to get in touch (
sales at tvcompass.com ).
