Zap2it users can breathe a little easier, but probably shouldn't break out the champagne just yet. It looks like there is a solution in the works for the continuation of its free TV listings service, although details are still somewhat sketchy.
Myth TV, a free DVR project, was especially threatened by Zap2It's announcement since their XML service is more easily parsed for usage in a scheduling database, and for which commercial service is not available.
Three lead developers for MythTV founded Easy TV as a result . Other founding members include reps from XMLTV and MacProGuide. Stay tuned for more details.
By the way, If you are a contract lawyer, familiar with US non-profit law and would like to provide pro bono service, (at least initially) Easy TV wants to talk to you.
