I came to the conclusion that I will try to write my own grabber, probably 
screen scraping. Good thing is I may learn a new programming language and 
new markup language in the process ;) And if it turns out I'm not smart 
enough for that, I might try CTpvr. They seem to have a competing solution 
for listings. The whole Schedules Direct thing went kind of bad for me 
after seeing how people get treated who articulate any kind of doubts about 
the project, or who ask about alternatives.

I also came to the conclusion that I won't ask anything on this list that 
has even remotely to do with TV-listings or just any kind of data derived 
from my MythTV system. The climate here has become quite hostile when it 
comes to those subjects.
