Schedules Direct US/Canadian/Mexico EPG Plugin (Updated 10-01-2007)

Patrick does a great job of supporting this, it seems to be the most consistant working epg for the US atm.

While I think it's neat and all, I would rather use the free over-the-air EPG. Is there any way to get RC1 to use this? Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon
You can use either over-air-based EPG or Web-based EPG. MP support both. Web-based EPG is in my opinion more reliable than over-air. Here in Denmark the probram-discription can only be downloaded for the next day while web-based EPG can download the programdiscriptions 14 days ahead.
