Additionally...  "You may not ...  display .. any of the content, in whole
or in part."

Obviously, using a web browser is what they intended this data to be used
for, and if displayed from their site, obviously the TOS are likely to apply
as they have written permission from themselves.  Retargeting the data to be
used in a standalone app, downloaded and displayed on TVs does NOT fit their
TOS as it's written.

am not planning on adding it back.  However, I do have a replacement in
mind...  It should hopefully be in place in a few days.  Patience.
