What benefits does this service have over the API provided by TheTVDB, which is your stated data source? I haven't interacted with theirs extensively, but it appears to offer the same functionality.

It is mashed up with Guidebox to provide information on where an episode can be watched online. In addition, it has a better selection of TV artwork and episode thumbnails.

I envisioned this as "in addition to" TheTVDB to help round out their selection and provide additional API calls.
