Zap2It Labs Discontinuing Free TV Guide Service 569
QuijiboIsAWord writes "Zap2It Labs, which provides free TV listing data for personal use, has long been the main source of program guide information for users in the US and beyond. They've announced via their webpage that,
due to abuse of the service, data will no longer be available after September 1st. There is no other direct source, and no option to pay for the service even if the users wanted to. Without a data feed of this type, users will be reduced to scraping websites at best. Is this going to be a killing blow for MythTV?"

I still prefer SageTV. It's about 1000 times easier to set up, and has most of the same functionality. The $70 for the software is nothing for the ease of use it gives me.
But that only runs on Windows, so for decent people with morals and integrity, funding a criminal organization due to mere laziness isn't really an option, now is it?
