Comment Re:What is wrong with the UK Radio Times grabber (Score 2, Interesting) 277
I use the RT grabber too and agree it's great value for money, being free and all. However it does have its flaws. It often doesn't contain episode names and numbers (making it hard for favourites to record just one copy of each episode), it doesn't use the "first showing" flag properly, etc. Basically it's fine for a barebones service but a pay-for service could contain much cleaner & better data.
I'd pay for a reasonably-priced UK service, just for the semi-guarantee that it's there to stay if nothing else. RT's feed has gone dead for several days at a time & you never quite know whether it's gone for good.
I should point out don't use MythTV; I use SageTV on Windows (ok now throw the rotten eggs). In my defence I do grab & parse from my Linux box...
