$2000 per month... and I think that's just for TV3. I posed a<br>
tentative question to this list a while back to see who would be<br>
likely to pay, say, $15-$20 per month to access a licensed and quality<br>
checked XMLTV feed, and mostly got the "well we can get this for free"<br>
response<br></blockquote><div><br>Given that $15-$20 per month will pay for a DVB-S card in pretty short order I don't think it'll fly at the moment even if Sky can keep the xmltv data off the net. Personally I'd be willing to pay about $5 (maybe $10) per month if the data had reliable season and episode numbers attached. Don't think any of the local broadcasters have that data themselves unfortunately.<br>
