As for the Tivo, the listings cost money,
Don't PC tv tuner card software allow you to download tv listings for free? I don't buy that the company has to charge you for the listings.

Now everything else you mentined, I believe.

 Using screen scrapers, in violation of the terms of service of the various websites that offer listings. Zap2it is cutting off their XML based service soon.

In addition to the listings, there is the work involved in updating the software, (sometimes) subsidizing the box, bandwidth, running the servers to aggregate the information for TiVoCast and Swivel Search, and whatever other stuff they do that the unit queries their servers for.
