[mythtv-users] Schedules Direct DataDirect replacement service testing

[Calvin Dodge]

 Meanwhile, my system stopped getting new data around 4-5 days ago.  I
tried running it manually, and got "DataDirect: Failed to get data:
Download error" for every new day.  So I've commented out the changed
/etc/hosts line, and I"m hopeful this will be fixed before November
1st.
