publically available IPTV channel guide data

[gtb]

This is an off-the-wall question, but does Gracenote have guide data available for various IPTV sources that can be made available to Schedules Direct subscribers? I believe that DirecTV includes a NasaTV channel for example (or at least did), which means that the data for that channel may be available. And it would be desirable to be able to get that guide data "somehow" into a lineup that could be downloaded and associated with a IPTV channel in your application of choice. There are numerous international freely available IPTV channels "out there". I would desire that there be guide data available for them as part of my subscription. Perhaps a new region (IPTV?) for lineups and having a m3u8 channel definitions would be an additional plus.

I do understand that this is a likely a very very long term question/issue, and nothing is likely to happen quickly. I just figured I would throw it out there. Thanks.

Can you send me an m3u so that I can see how many channels we have data for?

Well, here is the one I tend to use (source locations: http://www.avenard.org/files/media/playlist-hls.m3u for testing various things. I know it is not a complete list (and likely some no longer work):
