"Schedules Direct licenses TMS Data

Schedules Direct is pleased to announce that it has licensed US and
Canadian television program information from Tribune Media Services.
This data will be distributed directly to the users of Open Source and
Freeware applications.

Membership dues will be billed through PayPal and will be offered to
non-commercial users in the United States and Canada.

Information on pricing, terms of service, and a FAQ will be released shortly. "

Looks like free data is gone, but as long as it's reasonable, I'm
willing to pay.

They also look to have it ready to go for a number of apps...
    * We have a functional web app to create/manage  accounts/lineups
    * We have a working XMLTV grabber.
    * We have a working MythTV grabber
    * We have a working GB-PVR grabber
