[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 26913, member: 11550"] I figure this is their reasoning too, but the stupid thing is that The Age and other papers make RSS feeds for news freely available and that doesn't seem to be impacting their sales (or they wouldn't do it) and this is way more direct as these feeds eliminate the need for newspapers whereas the TV guides really are more like a kind of advertising. I think they are alsoworried about revenue from commercials if we can all skip adds, which is also stupid as videos work in a similar way. Basically big companies try to kill any new technology and eventually get badly burned by this approach. Just look at the music industry and MP3s. [/QUOTE]
