[QUOTE="Pat Clark, post: 1144827, member: 123421"] I just started to try using EPG Collector, and it seems to be working great here. I get 14 days of EPG data from all the local stations (Tampa, FL, USA) over the air (ATSC). Your case may well be different. Not mentioned above (perhaps its new since then), is that it can interrogate thetvdb and imdb to get better details on movies and series. It also can get thumbnails, star ratings, and more from there, but I haven't found a skin that will display them and can't find the "tv.guide" properties (used in skinning to display info from the guide) to see if these items are available to the skin. I also don't know if the ".dtd" file needs to be revised to accommodate the additional information -- but it's working for "normal" guide data. Its generating season and episode data, but it seems to be unavailable or something, since they end up -1 and -1 in the .xml file. So if anybody knows about TV.guide properties or .dtd files, I'd like to keep working on this, Right now, in many cases the guide data in my case is superior to that from mc2xml or schedules direct or zap2xml2. (A channel that is missing from these is present in the PSIP data, for example, and the descriptions are often superior and never worse.) [/QUOTE]
