I know there are a few of us who use MythTV… what are everyones plans for the pending dooms day when Zap2it/DataDirect stop providing channel guides.. ?

I think there’s been a few different posts on Dig as far as maybe the MythTV guys making a $15/year service…

Thoughts?

I got in on the beta of schedules direct. http://www.schedulesdirect.org/ $15/3 months. It’s alot more expensive than free was from zap2it, but it’s not a horrible price. So far I’ve been able to download the data with xmltv by modifying the urls in tv_grab_na_dd and then importing that data into mythfilldatabase…

It’s not elegant but apparantly there IS an integrated solution already in SVN for mythtv. I just have not gotten there yet. I’m planning on building a new box with the latest version once everything is out, since my box is still on a quite old version and running only mildly happy on a P3 667mhz machine… But it works – so I aint gonna “fix it” until I get a new working system in place.. once I do the old machine will get the same upgrade and go upstairs so I can have mythtv in the bedroom too.

I havent changed yet as zap2it still works for me, at least in my messed up mythbox state (still rebuilding) I suppose Im going to go with the SD.org method, they claim the price will drop once more people start using it.
