What can/can't you use the Freesat EPG for?

With help from AVForums, I've set up a routine that retrieves the Freesat EPG in database format once a week from my Humax HDR.

The object of the exercise is to automate my periodic search of the EPG from my (fairly long) list of old "must watch" films. Obviously I could search for each one in turn using either the Humax EPG search or the web interface, but life's too short ...

In the process, it set me thinking about ownership/copyright of the listings, and limitations on what I'm allowed, or not, to use them for. I assume the content is owned by Freesat and/or the individual channels and that I can use them for private/personal purposes, but probably not for any purpose that exposes them to public view.

So, while building a Windows app to allow an automated EPG search would probably be OK, putting the ability on the web might not be.

Does anyone have any experience of this?
