I am building a small front-end for a television client. I know the basic database structure but do not want to spend manually inserting all the channel names and show names and timings into the database. Are there any sample databases that I can just use? For instance, I am looking for a database containing tv related information with a set of channels, with their logos and perhaps the shows that are being aired on these channels.
Take a look at TVRage.com. They have various feeds that might be useful to you. It's not complete by any means. I'm assuming you just want this for development and debugging?
The BBC has an API.
