Zap2It labs cancelling free channel data

Zap2It labs - a subsidiary of Tribune Media - is being canceled. Originally a service designed for developers of media applications, will now be stopped starting September 1st due to “certain growing misuses”.

While some may see this as the end for Open Source projects like MythTV and companies like MonolithMC, I don’t expect it to be so. With a community thousands strong, filled with exceptionally talented developers - a solution will be found.

The whole MythTV community is behind me in saying “Thank you” to Tribune Media for the many years of service they provided. We all hope that an agreement can come about between to achieve a fair and workable solution.

I’ll keep you posted.
