Neither can I, but it's pretty clear from here:
docs.tms.tribune.com/tech/tmsdatadirect/zap2it/open_letter.html
that the data is not meant to be sold. Fair enough.

All you need to get zap2it data is the certificate code for MythTV
(which is printed in some of the documentation), a US zip code, and
the name of your cable co and plan. It's an easy system to abuse, if
that's what you want to do. I can't say that that's what they're doing
because I've never seen a commercial Myth box, but if I were a sleazy
bastard, that's what I'd do.
