I haven't used the over the air data since they changed it to be a
week in advance.  Before that change it was useless.

I am currently using shepherd, and am pretty happy with the data
quality, but there are glitches
every so often, and the data isn't perfectly complete.  I would have
said I would be prepared to
pay in the $30-$50 range, but I would probably want to check out the
over the air EPG again before
being signing up.  Given I rarely look at the EPG, those typo's would
be a real pain if they are to
frequent.
