These include the German channels ProSieben, RTL Television and Sat.1. <br /> <br /> According to a press release by the TV-Browser team, the collecting society VG Media plans to collect a usage fee for channel-program-data in EPGs beginning next year. Users will be charged between 0.02 and 0.04 € cents per page-view with a minimum fixed fee of at least 2000€. <br /> <br /> The Open-Source-project can not and does not wish to pay this fee; developers are considering showing certain programme highlights from the channels in question. <br /> <br /> A petition has been started to convince VG Media to abandon this charge fee. </p> <p> <br /> Wikinews <br /> </p> </div></div>Sun, 23 Dec 2007 02:44:05 GMT
