Zap2IT discontinuing their “labs”

Posted in Computers & Internet, Linux on Friday, June 22, 2007 by Yatta

WHY!??!?!?!?!? There was a letter posted on the xmltv-users mailing list about the end of Zap2IT. Here is a little excerpt:

On 6/19 Tribune Media announced that they will be discontinuing theirZap2IT Labs service on September 1, 2007…….

This doesn’t only effect XMLTV, it effects MythTV, GBPVR, and many more applications that use U.S./Canada listings. I’m confident the Open Source Community will work out a solution, there is no need to panic.

This sucks I’ve been liking my PVR, at least when I happen to use it :D A PVR without a decent channel guide is basically a dumb vcr :-( ( I hope something is sorted out before Heroes or 24 start back next season.
