I just wanted to chime in on ReplayTVs, as their main program download binary called DVArchive is able to grab TV listings from replaytv.com and display them in the program (or a website). These listings get stored in the user's home directory in an xml file, so there are possibilities for a myth plugin of some sort here that does the same thing for replay users. I assume the program is using some hardware specific info to validate the request (but not sure).
