Mythtv channel data

I am sure all Mythtv users know that at the end of the month they will no longer be able to receive channel data from Zap2It.  Schedules Direct looks like it will be the replacement for at least all US users.  They just announced earlier today that they are ready for people to sign up.

I have read about two ways to switch over your data.  Mythtv released version .20.2 yesterday that has native support for Schedules Direct or you can tweak the XMLTV grabber with a new url.  I would normally recommend waiting for the distributions to include packages of the new Mythtv version but we are under a tight schedule and I don’t know how fast they will have updated packages.  I will probably go with the second option for now.
