I'm pretty sure that I used DirectTV New York option but I'm not 100%.

You can always do a full pull and check it over after to see if it has the channels you want. Be ready to delete it shortly afterwards, though, because it could run upwards of 4 GIGS.

Just a quick question, when signing up for Schedules Direct which option for "Software You Use:" There's like Standalone: and bunch of options to choose from ADTV_EPG to xtvd_tools then you got JSON, MythTV and XMLTV which one to choose?

[ilan]

I use JSON...

I'm pretty sure that I used DirectTV New York option but I'm not 100%.

thank you very much.
same to you ilan for the tip

[aCiDjEsUs]

Ilan there is like 6 choices for JSON. I'm asking because I was thinking about getting my own epg with channels that I only watch, but I think that's a bit out of my league I was looking for some guides on how to do it but cant find anything. It would be nice if someone could come up with an easy how to.

If you start at the beginning of this thread and walk through each post, it might give you enough information to get going.
