What are the benefits to moving to it?

<pre wrap="">Basically Atlas provides more channels and also includes Radio channel data.
The Radio Times (RT) grabber will no longer work after January 2015 see

Can you use the atlas grabber as a simple swap-in replacement for the
rt one, or are there more config changes required?

I switched about a year ago, there were a couple of channels I wanted that RT didn’t provide. The channel IDs are completely different, as I have a hand built .xmltv file this was a fair bit of tinkering.
eg:
channel=hd.filmfour.channel4.com
becomes:
channel=cbhn
If you are able to use the automatically built .xmltv file then there are translations from the old xmltv IDs to the new ones in the Altas grabber and maybe that is fairly “drop in”.
I don’t use it any more as I now only receive channels that have EIT and that works so much better for me.

<small>The information from Andre was correct at that time.<br>
<br>
However things have moved on since then, as there is now automatic
mapping of the Atlas ids to the style used in the RT grabber.<br>
<br>
Current situation is as follows (I have just tried out the latest
on my mythtv test system running v0.27.3-109-g0dd5ab3)<br>
<br>
1. You need xmltv version 0.5.65 installed (current 14.04 ubuntu
uses 0.5.63 - no atlas grabber)<br>
2. You need Atlas API key from Metabroadcast<br>
