Everyone likes to eat. It's only for commercial entities, not for mere
consumers, most tv guide data comes from one company, and they have
very strict rules on how it can be rebroadcast.

There's actually a couple of options. The oztivo group have an xml
service. D1 provide an xml guide, I've got some some very simple
scripts that tweak it into xmltv for use with mythtv,

There's also a bunch of scripts out there that parse the various tv
guides and munge it into xml.

cheers,
