[QUOTE="karl10247, post: 1006134, member: 116613"] Hello everyone, I thought i would post a topic to discuss the pros & cons of using Radio Times or Digiguide epg data via the XMLTV plugin in the TV server. Two things i expect a good guide listing to have is 1) A genre specific to movies so i can colour movies in my guide so they stand out 2) Series/episode numbers to utilise the prevent dupicate recordings feature in the tv-server. However there are pro's and cons to using Radio times data vs Digiuide data which i have outlined my opinions beneath: Radio Times Pros: -Free -Accurate (from what ive seen so far) -More series/episode data than digiguide (that ive found so far) Cons: -No "movie"or "film"genre so cant colour movies in guide accordingly -Some series missing series/episode numbers Digiguide Pros: -Star ratings in titles (a nice touch i think) -Accurate -"Film"genre to colour guide -Some series/episode numbers Cons: -Pay service (although not much) (and its only a 7 day trial now i might add) -Not as much series/episode numbers as RT Open for discussion on experiences/alternatives etc..................
