| Guide data update |
- zap2it shutdown is still slated for September 1, 2007
- MythTV developers, and others, have teamed together to form Schedules Direct as a replacement
- There are forums for Schedules Direct discussion
- Schedules Direct will be charging around $5 US a month, at least initially
- The first 100 beta testers have been added, and bugs found
- Code has been added to the development version of MythTV to start handling Schedules Direct (although you are not forced to upgrade to use the new guide data source)
