Direct, when it was trialed a little while back. We found the differences to be
trivial and amount of days 7-8 too little to worry about. Meaning EIT (over the
air delivered) was sufficient for our needs. For interest here is a few pics
between EIT and Scheduels Direct. The grabbers show information levels in
between the two. So as you can see no real difference. The first images show
the png icons and how they display of further interest. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">I'll send some follow up pics for Schedules Direct, daily mythfill and Mythweb's replacement.</span></p>

</div>Hi David,<br>
As you know, I was using mhegsnoop, but when I updated my system to<br>
the latest debian. Something broke with retrieving the data from the<br>
dvb-t stream, and I turned on the EIT data, and found 7 days! so I<br>
have been too lazy to fix my mhegsnoop problem.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
