Hi,
I am a new cord cutter and went OTA this fall. I am fairly happy about my setup so far (all computers running JRMC19-67):
- 3 HDHomerun HDHR-3 giving me 6 simultaneous record/live channels possibility among 30 channels/subchannels
- one Windows 8 HTPC per TV, all are clients of the Media Server
- one computer running JR Media Server 19 24/7, with local library for music, photos and TV, and accessing a separate Linux share for movies.
Everything is running smoothly, once over the learning curve. In my area we get 5 US networks from upper Vermont and 9 local Canadian networks
I am using mc2xml accessing a Zap2it account for EPG. I had to cheat a bit (setup postal code, save channels to favorites, then setup zip, save channels to favorites) in order to get all the OTA channels I am receiving from Zap2it. Anyway my EPG is now complete.
The issue I have with the current solution is that Season/Episode are not available from the xmltv.xml file.
So, is there an EPG solution giving those missing details for areas able to receive both US/Canadian broadcasts ?
It does not have to be free, I would agree to pay a reasonable fee (like Schedules Direct $25 annual).
One additional detail, I listen to both english and french programming, this might be an issue.
So, among those of us getting OTA channels from both US and Canada, any EPG solution stands out ?
Cheers !
