EPG Recommendation?

timofcourse · 2007-09-16, 23:34

Now that Zap2It is kuput does anyone have a recommendation for what to use for grabbing EPG info automatically with TV Server (specifically for US channels)?

I know the "Zap2It Stopping Service" has a couple recommendations, but it seems as though theyre not working right (i.e. xmlTV and Yahoo 2 Go XMLTv)

Thanks a bunch!

$15 for 6 months.

So is that what pretty much everyone is moving to? Too bad there's no free service available, but I guess you pay for what you get.

I noticed that MediaPortal is an approved app on their site, is there a plugin to integrate with this available?

Yea iI recently set up schedules direct with this plugin and it worked great.
15$ for 6 months doesnt seem bad at all and anyways if we get enought people to sign up there trying to get it to 20$ for a year!
