I've been trying to figure out a way to load in new show information without having to scrape TV.com or similar websites, since that's a pain technically and legally. As a result, I have a few questions about XMLTV.
- Would the TOS allow me to parse series titles, episode titles, episode descriptions, and original episode date from the listings, store it in my database, and redistribute using our XML interfaces?
- How can I differentiate between regular on-going TV series and one-off events like sports, tv movies, awards shows, etc?
- How can I differentiate between local series (like a local realty show or news program) and national series? Would selecting a satellite provider for my listings do this?
