The ability to insert guide data scraped from TVGuide.com-type places already mostly exists, from just the efforts of 'rogue' hackers trying to make data for Canadian use. If TiVo goes under, the more prominent hackers (like tridge of Samba fame) will have a good roll-your-own guide data system working very quickly and TiVo users will become an Amiga/Empeg-like cult

I have seen assurances on the AVS forum that this would also be possible (and probable) for ReplayTV. Some of the guys on the forum are already ex-ReplayTV employees and seem to have a solution already in mind.

Lets hope that it doesn’t come to that for either company.
