Dave says: "I want a way to do a query on DirecTv's listings. Show me all commercial-free movies on channels I subscribe to airing in the next 30 days that were nominated for or won an Academy Award."
And this is exactly where the axis of interactivity lies between traditional broadcasters and whatever it is we do.
The European high court recently passed a series of laws determining TV listings are 'content' until the day of broadcast when the information suddenly necomes 'news'.
Perhaps we can turn the tables here, create our own TV Guide, with our own ratings system. Weblogs certainly have all this functionality debugged and working.
Think of the possibilities of producing xml feeds to achieve scenarios like the one Dave wants. Feed it to your TiVo, RePlay, VCR, Blog, email etc.
This has been one of the main reasons I'm so into the Calendar plugin.
Must think more now.
