I'm not sure if anyone is aware of this, but Windows 98 allows the
download of tv listings from http://broadcast.microsoft.com/epgdata/.
You must have Win98, a TV tuner card and web tv installed.

I suggest the ATI all in wonder series. The Hauppauge wintv's work well
also. The Data is available as a MDB database and can be used by other
applications.

The Database could be used to control the TV and VCR from VBA, a Home
Automation Controller or some other IR device like a slink-e.

I'm not the one to develop an application to do anything with the data.
Anyone else?
