Since Schedules Direct has sent out an email letting people know about changes to the service on Nov 1, I thought it'd be worth letting you know what's happening from a NextPVR perspective.
NextPVR has been updated to support the new interface they've provided. This new 3.3.x release of NextPVR will be available in the next day or two. From a user's perspective, it'll look just like any other upgrade, and things will keep working. This release is largely ready, we're just working through a last minute thing that popped up in testing.
If you don't update to the new version, things should continue to work to. The Schedules Direct guys have created a service that looks like the old service, for old apps that haven't been updated for the new service. The new version of NextPVR does not use this legacy-look-a-like service, and instead moves to their new native json service, which offers some advantages like quicker update times etc.
