[mythtv-users] Willing to pay for better listings?? - US

[Ethan McDonald]

I personally would not either.

In fact one feature Myth's TV listings needs is a exception list.
A lot of the channels downloaded for MythTV are not even on my DirecTV list
of channels and others I could just as really do with out like all the music
channels.

I would be nice if I could go through the entire list and set my preferences
as to what I do don't want to browse.
Also I should be able to set an option so that MythTV will only bother
filling the database with the channels I selected as viewable.
Perhaps this could be added to the Mythtvsetup.

I'd have to say probably not. Just as long as I get the program schedule
with 
program name and show title, I really don't care a huge amount about the 
little plot summary. Thus far, zapt2it is sufficient for my needs.

However, like Doug, it *might* be of real interest to me is if there were 
full-out HDTV schedules with all the subchannel info (for the Seattle area).

I'm about to start dusting off my pcHDTV card and work on integrating it
with 
my collection of ivtv cards...

Not very much. The only part that would really be of any use is the HDTV 
stuff, as I'm perfectly happy with everything else from zap2it. Maybe $2/mo 
or $20/yr...
