Mythtv backend uses Schedules Direct for the program guide. It
works great, most of the time. I use it for USA OTA ATCS
programming. I took the defaults when setting it up. Nothing more
than putting in my account info for SD.

The XMLTV through SD option gets you three weeks of schedules
instead of 13 days. It also supplies season and episode, and gives
icons for all channels. It is also harder to set up.<br>
