What are the benefits to moving to it?

Basically Atlas provides more channels and also includes
Radio channel data.
<br>
<br>
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
<br>
rt one, or are there more config changes required?
<br>

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.
<br>
<br>
eg:
<br>
channel=hd.filmfour.channel4.com
<br>
becomes:
<br>
channel=cbhn
<br>
<br>
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”.
<br>
<br>
I don’t use it any more as I now only receive channels that
have EIT and that works so much better for me.

The information from Andre was correct at that time.
<br>
<br>
However things have moved on since then, as there is now
automatic
<br>
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
<br>
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
<br>
0.5.63 - no atlas grabber)
<br>
2. You need Atlas API key from Metabroadcast

<br>
So for this command I'm currently using:
<br>
tv_grab_uk_rt --quiet --config-file
/var/lib/mythtv/.mythtv/Freeview.xmltv > $TEMPFILE
<br>
<br>
I could just swap to atlas (after registering and obtaining a
key)?
<br>
Presumably the key must be supplied on the command line too, but
<br>
I can probably work that out.
<br>
<br>
Cheers,
<br>
Paul.

Paul,<br>
<br>
The format of the Freeview.xmltv file is different with atlas and
includes the api key.<tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt>You will need to create a new Freeview.xmltv<tt> file using
tv_grab_uk_atlas --configure<br>
<br>
<br>
</tt>This is an extract of my Freeview.xmltv file :<tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>

</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>e.g. channel=cbZc is mapped to hd.bbcthree.bbc.co.uk</tt><tt>

</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
