[QUOTE="samuel337, post: 5068, member: 10347"] Guys, from what I've been reading over at the mythtv mailing list, D1 has been switching content providers recently so they are in a bit of a limbo at the moment. However, it also seems that D1 seems to be being a bit more restrictive about how their data is used. I will try to fix my grabber after my exams (after 26th Nov) but I think in the long run, it would be better if I switched the code over to the oztivo tv-guide data. The oztivo guide-data is maintained by users - this is how they get and check most of their data. There is a pretty large tivo community (500+) so there's quite a force behind providing the data. They have tried to obtain the data from content providers (HWW and ebroadcast) but to no avail, so they are resorting to a user-enters system. They seem happy for others to use their guide-data, as long as users are happy to contribute something back, in the form or checking data and entering in new data. Their data is not as complete, however, it is really the only viable source right now. For those who are interested in the debate, you can check out these mythtv threads: [url]http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/engine?do=post_view_flat;post=90072;page=2;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25;list=mythtv[/url] [url]http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/engine?do=post_view_flat;post=91407;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25;list=mythtv[/url] For those who are not as technically knowledgable, keep in mind that mythtv is a PVR similar to MP but is for the Linux operating system. Therefore, unless you are familiar with perl on windows, you cannot use the alternative grabbers that they have developed over there. Also, for those who are interested in the original debate over at oztivo, check out [url]http://minnie.tuhs.org/twiki/bin/view/Main[/url] and do a search on their mailing list for HWW or 'tv guide data'. So, until after the 26th Nov at least, you guys will have to go back to the good old days where we didn't have tv guides on out TVs ;-) Sam [/QUOTE]
