The recent schedulesdirect announcement says their EPG<br>will be a "pay to play" service. I don't think many<br>of us will pay the high fees the Tivo and ReplayTV<br>services, the cablecos, and the pizza dish pimps have
<br>been charging. Given schedulesdirect is a commercial<br>venture, or at least partnered with a commercial<br>business seeking revenue, I'm inclined to wait to see<br>their pricing structure before I invest.<br><br>
However, I would be interested in investing time in<br>helping with the development or testing of alternative<br>scraping projects--just in case schedulesdirect also<br>wants the typical $10 / month (for a full blown,<br>
commercial, DRM-supporting PVR) fee -- or thereabouts.<br><br>-Cal<br><br></blockquote></div><br>Cal, <br><br>I'm not sure why you chose to start this new thread with my name in the title. <br><br>The views you express are not in alignment with any that I have expressed.
