[QUOTE="NickName, post: 129213, member: 21675"] I used to use OzTivo but I found formatting inconsistencies and (the occasional) holes in the data a little annoying. I know I am picky but I hate UPPERCASE words in my guide as well as missing a show through missing data. Please don't get me wrong, OzTivo is great but I guess I'm a little lazy to have to tweak my guide regularly... Been there, done that. The novelty wore off after a few months. My solution was to use the IceTV service. Yes, it does cost money ($3 per week) but as they are/were fighting Channel 9's monopoly of the TV Guide data, I don't mind supporting them. It all depends if you want free data with some minor issues and tweaks occasionally, or something that just works with only two changes per year for daylight savings. I rely on a high WAF so 'easy' is good for me. I admit that I run a VBScript over the downloaded guide to get the channel names how I like them but I have had to do that for every guide I have tried anyway. As this script downloads the guide, changes the channel names and copies it to other PCs on my network automagically, as a scheduled task, all I have to do is twice a year adjust Mediaportal for Daylight savings and if I wasn't so lazy, I could automate too! Simple. :-) Good luck with whatever you choose, regards, Nick Name. [/QUOTE]
