Easy TV to resume free TV listings for Myth TV users




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.

Easy TV Data was created in response to Zap2it Labs announcement that they would be discontinuing their free TV listings XML based service effective September 1, 2007, due to abuse of the service. Although, tight on the details, it looks like Easy TV is in negotiations with Zap2It Labs to transition the service so it can continue, hopefully without interruption.

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.
