So, anybody speculate when they will decide to start charging? If
they charge too much, people will go back to screen scraping and sharing,
but I doubt they want to do it free forever. Tivo pretends they
are selling you listing data for $13/month but of course that price
covers much more than that. I would venture they would get a good
business in the range of $25/year. (You can subscribe to TV Guide
on paper for less, but it is ad supported.)
