No, this is "mining" and is against rules stated by rooms.

I think he's asking the same thing I'd be interested in, which is viewing the HUD - not collecting hand histories. How would that be considered datamining?

If you don't play at the table - one hand only. This is named "prefetch" and is described in FAQ.

I am using PokerStars and in Site Options, I have "Pre-fetch one hand" checked. But I don't get any HUD info on observed tables. Is there something else I have to do?

By "one hand only" you mean that the data will be fetched on opening the table and never updated until you take a seat, right?

Yes, it don't updates if you don't play.
To make prefetch work you need not only to set flag = ON, but to add folder indicated in Site options to autoimport list.
