These are facts and therefore not copyrightable.

If you compile the database yourself, you are the owner of the database. 
It's debateable whether you'd have any Intellectual Property rights at 
all on it.

I agree such a central resource would be super-cool, and in fact, that's 
exactly what I imagined.

The URL http://www.bucksch.org/1/projects/various/xmltv/lineup.de.xml 
has real-world data for German, all the main channels. It's basically a 
dump of my Zeipis database and how I use TV.
