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.

<div class="">In researching an issue I looked at the wiki on

The recommended per the wiki is XMLTV even for Schedules

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>

So it looks like there are some advantages to switching to an XMLTV
grabber for Schedules Direct. Any recommendations on setup and
switching other than what is on the Wiki at
