Shepherd is superb. It uses a variety of guide sources and ranks then
according to quality to ensure the TV guide is as good as it can be. One
area where it may not be as good as IceTCV is in ensuring last minute
updates are applied to programming schedules - though there may be some
development happening on that front right now using EIT data.
