Thanks both for all the help. I'm going to try Zap2xml with the Zap2It tv listings data and see if I can figure that out. Failing that, I'll see if there's a way to manually pull the SchedulesDirect data into an XML as described.

I know the developer isn't around anymore, but I'm wondering if anyone here can help me. I cannot for the life of me get the "Keep until" functionality to work, at least not using the syntax described in the help documentation that comes with the plugin. No matter what I set (using "days" as...
You are my hero. If you're ever in Toronto I'll buy you a beer. Both strings worked perfectly. I can finally use the plugin to manage TV before AND after I record the episodes. I've been trying to make that work since 2009.
