[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1260355, member: 141969"] I use the EPG that is broadcast with Freeview (DVB-T), as I prefer not to bother downloading the EPG from the internet. But I believe that "Schedules Direct" provide a good quality EPG for the UK (and for the USA and other countries). The catch is that the EPG is not free -- it costs about £20 per year. However, it is highly regarded by the remaining users of WMC (the native WMC guide is now of poor quality). Just as a comparison: if you purchased the "Radio Times" listings magazine every week, it would cost you over £100 for the year. Even if you purchased the cheapest available ("TV Choice"), it would still cost you £32 per year. So £20 per year for a high-quality EPG that can be used with MP does not seem outrageously expensive. (y) I think that "Schedules Direct" offer a 7-day free trial. So it might be worthwhile investigating further. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
