epgsnoop - although the current bazaar version seems to be missing lots of
meta data so I assume there are updates that haven't made it to the
repository.

So I'm paying nearly 50 bucks a month for the minimal subscription but
they don't want me to know what shows are being broadcast. If I wasn't
paying for it, I wouldn't be able to receive it and I would have no use
for the EPG data. Sounds like accounting muppets that share a single brain
cell across the whole department - the person responsible for this whole
debarcle obviously didn't have the brain cell that day...

As you say, I'll be canceling my subscription before I cough up for a
MySky box...

Morons...
