I recall a dev saying early on in the discussion when Zap2it first
announced they were stopping their service that a solution to this
problem would most likely go through XMLTV and therefore require no
changes to Myth itself. You would just have to install an up-to-date
XMLTV that knows how to talk to Schedules Direct and tell Myth to use
it.
