[bkirk50]

I live in Portland, Oregon USA. Can anyone tell me how I find epg for my local. Tried a google search and ended up with nothing.

Thanks in advance.

I'd give the wiki a read it has a decent amount of info. there free and non free services and you will have to read the wiki to see what fits you

i use a free service called mc2xml

See wiki link below

Just use Schedules Direct. It's only $20 per year, and the listings are superior to what you'll get from MC2XML. Not only that, it's MUCH easier to setup in GB-PVR. You can also delete the channels you don't want, so you don't get useless guide data cluttering up your database or showing up in searches.

I did use MC2XML at first, but gladly paid the $20 once I tried Schedules Direct on their 7 day trial.

I get the opposite: more data with mc2xml. Depends on your listings/location I guess. Both are simple to use.

Which is the best choice for cable/Sattelite in the US? It looks like MC2XML only provides terrestial ATSC.

not true. it provides lineups for everything. last I used it you had to use the -t option for TitanTV to get the ATSC lineup, everything else was available without the -t.
