Yeah, I was wondering if not all my local channels are included in Schedules Direct.

They are pretty good and they have a free trial. Before that screener.com (was zap2it) uses the same data source. so go to http://tvschedule.zap2it.com/tvlistings/...tvschedule and set your location and broadcast as your provider. Sometimes multiple zip codes are required for some locations.

NextPVR's SD support is built in you just need an account and do the mapping.

I really don't know how to test this. My update times occur shortly prior to the current recording times. I guess it is possible to miss a recording or two. However, the channels I record seem to be very stable. Just for fun, these are some networks I record: Comet, Antenna, MeTV, GetTV, and H&I (Heroes and Icons). These are all carried by various local affiliates. Do you know if they are part of the Schedules Direct database?

Seems pretty impressive! And I know they also support Open Source, so that is nice. Smile
