[QUOTE="RonD, post: 1120319, member: 117536"] I don't think the SD account control webpage supports option #1 "rename channels", for my USA OTA/antenna lineup I can only enable/disable channels, but can't modify names. I'm currently using SchedulesDirect account/data ($25/year) with mc2xml version 1.3 and MePo xmltv pluggin for OTA/antenna/ATSC. The following message (2nd half) gives some info on using mc2xml with SchedulesDirect. I prefer the way the xmltv imports the data over the SD-plugin, my personal preference. For an OTA listing the SD-plugin auto-match based on ATSC Major-Minor numbers does a good job and works for all my OTA/ATSC channels, but this does not apply/help for cable lineups.

Kind of a pain to setup the 1st time for 50 or so ATSC channels, can see how it could be royal pain to do this for 300 cable channels.
