Schedules Direct
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schedules Direct is a non-profit organization that provides a low-cost television program listing service for open source and freeware digital video recorders.
Developers from several different projects including MythTV, XMLTV, and GB-PVR founded Schedules Direct in response to Tribune Media Services's (TMS's) decision to shut down its free Data Direct program listing service as of September 1, 2007.[1] MythTV and other such software use the data to display an on-screen electronic program guide (EPG), and to schedule upcoming recordings. For a small fee, presently $25 a year,[2] Schedules Direct contracts with TMS to deliver its data—which TiVo and other commercial digital video recorders also use—to its subscribers.
