[QUOTE="whurlston, post: 172381, member: 47415"] Hi all. I'm the guy who wrote the YahooXMLTv utility. I had suspended development on the grabber because of the pending Schedules Direct service but still left it available for download. As the 9/1 deadline draws closer and I'm getting more info about what will be available/unavailable from Schedules Direct, I am considering reviving the project and finishing the bug fixes/updates. I'll make a decision by next week on that. I just happened to come upon this thread but I will attempt to answer some questions that I noticed. Output: the output is in an XMLTv compliant format (with a couple of added fields) so it should work with any app that imports XMLTv listings. Multiple Listings: multiple listings are available, the GB-PVR forum thread (link posted above) has instructions fo adding multiple lineups to the Y! database. (see first three posts) Setting up Y! with no tuners installed: again, the GB-PVR forum thread (link posted above) has instructions on how to do this. OTA Listings: Not available with Y! but you can use an include/exclude file in YahooXMLTv to get the listings from your cable/satellite source possibly. MCE peferred: In the same GB-PVR forum, there is a utility called MceEpg2XmlTv that I wrote that does download/exports the EPG from MCE. It should not affect anything. The default output of YahooXMLTv has the times in UTC and MP should adjust accordingly. [/QUOTE]
