started out a few months ago with the notion to build HTPc's. Guess what

the software industry and I can say things aren't always on the up and up with

For now though I've been holding on to the model that James talks about with
updates, downloaded from my ftp server. Outside of XMLTV, the only other
EPG I've tried is Snapstream. It looked a whole lot better and seemed to
contain more program description. Maybe I need to tweak XMLTV better. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
If I were to be so insane, instead of trying to mirror or provide zap2it <br>
listings, I'd avoid that whole legal and technical ratnest. I'd probably set <br>
up some a script to do automated package updates that checked my own server <br>
every day. When zap2it or something else needed updating, I'd put the <br>
package(s) on my server and the remote clients scripts would check in, see a <br>
needed update, pull down the package and update themselves.<br>
<br>
Making it all robust and stable enough to deploy to end-user consumers at this <br>
point is a much larger problem, IMHO. ;)<br>
<B! R>Then again, I wouldn't expect to find a solid solution being offered on
ebay, <br>
I'd be more likely to think the buyer is on their own after purchase. But I'm <br>
cynical, Over the years I've had more bad experiences than good when buying <br>
on ebay.<br>
