Obviously you'd have to pay for the data after the trial expires, though in my opinion $25 per year is pretty reasonable for the service they provide. This would be a convenient and easy setup option.Ultimately the choice about where to get your guide data from is yours. As far as I'm aware, SD is one of only two internet sources that carries Dish guide data. The other one would be mc2xml with the Microsoft service, for which you have to "donate" $20 one time. That's cheaper. As usual there are trade-offs, which are (1) setting up mc2xml with the XMLTV plugin can be a bit time consuming for hundreds of channels, and (2) mc2xml is not sanctioned by Microsoft so you could end up with no guide data if/when Microsoft decide to try to take it down.</blockquote>
