Don't panic!

They contacted Issac just before they went public.

Some serious people are talking about licensing the data from
TMS, but this will take a little time to work out. We have no
idea of the number of MythTV users that use DataDirect listings,
nor how much TMS charges for commercial access to their data
stream.

Another option is to get the data directly from the stations
themselves, this was done by some MythTV users in Sweden with
much success. There are fewer stations there, but there are
also many more MythTV users in North America who are willing
to do some legwork.
