MythTV Scheduling Service Reveals Pricing
An anonymous reader writes "A group of open source developers have been working behind the scenes to create a new service known as Schedules Direct to provide affordable scheduling data for North American users of MythTV. Today, they've announced an initial pricing plan of $15 for a 3 month block, non-recurring. Details are still fairly light at the moment, but there's a mailing list and a FAQ available on the site — one notable tidbit is that the developers 'expect pricing to drop by the end of the initial term. Our goal is $20/year.' This comes weeks before the planned shutdown of Zap2it Labs' Data Direct service mentioned previously."
Wait a second, you're complaining that it's not so easy to install, but you're compiling it from source? WTF? Install it from binary packages ferkrissakes!
The Debian and Ubuntu packages Just Work for me.
It throws fits with shows like X-Files where half the show is in the dark. Mulder and Scully go into a dark room, and boom, it flags it as a commercial.
I've turned off the auto-skip, but I still let it flag the commercials. It's pretty easy to reach over and mash the Z key whenever a commercial starts.
