You'll be prompted to log in to the Schedules Direct website.

That's an interactive test of "whats on now" to rule out application problems using our web app.  It downloads data just like your app is supposed to 
do and displays it in your browser.  Very handy to help troubleshoot apps like MythTV that don't provide a way for users to see the raw data.

Since it only gets 30 seconds or data, it's not useful for an application to use (and designed that way!)
