I assume you are a US/Canada user referring to the zap2it service terminating? If so, then SchedulesDirect is pretty much exactly the same as the old zap2it service, with the same data coming form the same servers.

Oh sorry about that. Yes I am a US user. Are there any other options besides schedule direct at the momment? I've seen people discussing various grabbers. How are those coming along?

Can I gain anything by using YApi2XML as opposed to Schedules Direct? Or does YApi2XML lack anything other than multiple lineups? I have Dallas DirecTV with local channels.

Yahoo does not have local OTA listings but other than that, you shouldn't be missing anything. You may be able to get most of your locals from a D* or cable lineup.

I idea together while brainstorming in the "Zap2It Closing" thread. We just implemented different methods for it. The MCE grabber was just a natural offshoot of my Y! method. Anyone who wants to read through the "Zap2It Closing" again can verify that but I'm not. It's a looong thread.
