Either:

a) It is costing them server time / server bandwidth (more downloads = more
server costs)

or

b) They have to pay other information providers more the more we use it

or

c) They have a contract with information providers not to go over certain
limits


I think the distinction is important. Because with a) it could be possible
to come up with a caching server.

Wheras with b) or c) you have to wonder if there is any other sharing
agreements (to be able to re-distribute the EPG data from certain sources).
For example Publishers Wharehouse? In which case the access may be limited
to per-user (ie for personal use). Not to provide 'cometing services' and
such.

Robert was kind enough to respond on other thread something about

https://github.com/kgroeneveld/tv_grab_sd_json

Which unfortunately I didn't really understand. Because being a regular
user and such. I just 'turn it on' in tvheadend and forget about it. All I
remember is that ages ago someone else on this list was talking about how
to request less data from atlas. And either I didn't understand that to. Or
else it was to difficult / no instructions to configure it those same way
for tvheadend.

All help appreciated. Because I'm sure theres even more users affected by
this now.
Kind Regards

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
