[mythtv-users] looks like ananova pulled the plug on tv_grab_uk

[Paul Woodward]

I got this reply from digiguide:
'We are unable to distribute, resell or give away our listings due to contractual obligations with our suppliers and the channels.

Our listings have to be securely encrypted and only available from within DigiGuide.'

It looks like this is a no-go. I understand their point, once the data in unencrypted anyone can distribute/use it, and that would wipe out the value of the listings to their providers, hence the contractual obligation for them.

rt might be the only way forward...
