I am no longer using YApi2XML. I'm not sure it is currently working at all. When I did use it, I ran YApi2XML (on a Win computer) and then transferred the XML file to my PVR using a flashdrive. Then you run mythfilldatabase using the XML file. Now, I use a nice program called <a href="http://mc2xml.110mb.com/" rel="nofollow">mc2xml</a>. It runs on linux, and so makes everything easier. I have it set to run as a cron job, and then run mythfilldatabase. This way it is all automatic and doesn't need any manual intervention. First of all, I should update this.

Its a little program that get the guide data from Yahoo and puts it in an XML format that MythTV can use. After setting it to the correct cable provider and lineup, it gets me the guide data and I manually transfer it to my PVR. I do this once a week." By what procedure you do this "manual transfer"??

At some point, I may set it up to use digital cable, but that would require controlling a cable box which would add a good bit of complexity. This one is used with analog cable.

Question?: This setup is based upon utilizing an existing TV service such as Cable, DirecTV, Dish, etc correct? the latest craze out there seems to be FTA systems though I think they skim legality issues.... best wishes! though it was long ago I read about these things its refreshing to see someone build one once again..
