title: Open-source / free universal EPG / XMLTV data API or service, or how to make one?
body: <p>I am looking for (an open-source, aka "free") data-source for universal EPG / XMLTV services?</p>
  
  <p>The project needs updated/updateable real-time TV scheduling info, in an easily parsable format. It also MUST be available at no cost or a VERY liberal license. Thanks for any advice or alternatives.</p>
  
  <p>I am open to coding my own solution, if anyone has some suggestions on where to start.</p>
