[mythtv-users] Zap2it Labs Shutting Down?

Is anyone going to bitch if I suggest an advertising supported model?

 

Small banner add on the base of your epg in the same way that Spiceworks
delivers their advertisements?

I'm actually in the process of paying for the development of an ad
supported Asterisk application but when I've approached the Myth-TV
community about commercial projects in the past you guys get your
knickers in a knot faster then even the asterisk community.

 

Any comments?

If we are unable to use Zap2It Labs for in it's current form, and Zap2It
is not willing to create a "personal subscription" option, what's the
possibility of creating a group to purchase the rights to the data as a
"commercial" provider and provide it to the MythTV community for a
low/modest subscription fee?

 

I'd be willing to work with creating this company/group?

 

I would guess this would depend on what Zap2it charges for the data?
Could be rather pricey.

	Personally so would I. The information has value to me, and it's
worth a few
	dollars to me to have it.


I need the listings. I'd pay to download them or help work on a project
to provide listings to the community.
