If you're -really- cheap, there's this:  http://zap2xml.110mb.com/

It's a perl script which slurps the HTML listings from zap2it.com, which 
is still free, and converts it to XMLTV format. A friend of mine has had 
some success running it (he said that a few channels were missing, for 
some reason, but generally it worked.)

Probably less hassle giving out your 20 bucks to Schedules Direct, though.
