DirecTV digital guide data
Has anyone gotten the DirecTV guide data into digital format? It would be nice to integrate into the touch panels for better channel control.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Scraping HTML guide data is copyright infringement. Not a good thing to get involved with.
I'll have something more to post in ~months time.

I am not having much luck getting through to DirecTV to see if I can get the data via the satellite receivers.
I look forward to see what you produce, Joel.
Thanks.
It's around $100k per year for the full pipe.
Tribune Media is the originator of the Guide data. DirecTV licenses from them.
The data from a set-top serial port is pretty limited. The protocol is public, and I have the docs; it doesn't supply much more than the station you are currently tuned to, much less meta data. The AMX demo pretty much has to be getting it from elsewhere.
