[mythtv-users] Zap2it Labs Shutting Down?

[Michael Jones]

Something like a Tier 1.. Tier x NTP server...

That would work provided that Zap2It/TMS would allow us to  
"redistribute" their data on our own.



It would be interesting if someone would share with the rest of us  
what the current state of "negotiations" and options being discussed  
are with the Zap2it/TMS folks

Chris? Isaac? Daniel?  Any comments for those of us waiting with  
baited breath?
