[QUOTE="hairlesshobo, post: 855516, member: 121339"] Hello Everyone, Last night I finally got around to naming my channels correctly and mapping to Guide Data. It works fine, but I am just wondering if there would be a benefit to switching guide data source. I am in the US and I am currently using Microsoft Legacy. I have heard of the following services and was wondering if there would be a benefit of switching to one of these. Microsoft Legacy Microsoft (new) w/ full ATSC support TitanTV (I signed up for this but mc2xml refuses to connect.. not sure what's going on) Schedules Direct zap2it From what little I could find online, it sounds like the new Microsoft Service has more detailed guide data vs legacy, and I was wondering if this would be useful for MediaPortal. I would definitely be willing to donate the $20 for the "fancy" version of mc2xml, but I want to make sure that there is something to gain from using the new service. Anyways, the main question. What does everyone use and why? Place your vote :) -Steve [/QUOTE]
