I used IceTV when I used to have a Win Media Centre machine, now I use 
shepherd for mythtv. Shepherd does a fairly good job, although the data 
quality isn't always the best. If I was to pay for a service, I'd expect 
things like episode numbers/names to be correct on shows and I'd like to have 
correct synopsis for shows as well (two things that are a bit hit and miss in 
shepherd, which is the fault of its data sources, not shepherd itself).
