WHAT THE F--- ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?  Are you delusional?  I explained in a previous message what I am trying to do, and it has nothing to do with "stealing guide data", and I have NEVER made any previous posts about accessing North American television.  I was going to try and develop a way for people who view speciality channels on Free-To-Air satellite, which I doubt you know anything about, a way to have limited guide data, but if this is the sort of "friendly" reception a newcomer gets in your community, I will direct my talents elsewhere.

No, I was going to try to do exactly what I said I was trying to do in my previous message, but you just killed any desire I had to go any further with that.  You can take your attitude and stuff it up the nether regions of your darkest bodily cavity.

This will be my last post, ever.  To the others who posted, thank you, and goodbye and good luck if this is the sort of person that you have to put up with.
