This is for any MythTV users in the group - just in case you were hiding under a rock somewhere.... If you don't want to mess with your MythTV setup (I understand) you can solve this problem with an easy dns redirect added into your hosts file.

Schedules Direct has been operating since 2007 to provide a stable environment for non-commercial media applications to receive TV listings data, but that does not mean things never change! :) This may be our first email-blast since 2007! We have been informed that Gracenote (formerly Tribune Media Services) will be ending the guide data service currently used by most members of Schedules Direct. Their plan is to end support for this service on November 1, 2014. Schedules Direct was already hard at work implementing replacement services. Please check with your application's support page for your best solution. Some applications have chosen to use a new SD-JSON service that offers a richer data set, while others have chosen to use the SD-DD service, which is meant to be a drop-in replacement for Gracenote/Tribune's service. If your application is no longer supported, there's no reason to worry. Most apps can continue to function with a change to your system's hosts file. (details in the SD forum). Last week I asked Tribune to update their DNS to force half of the traffic to the SD-DD servers. The concept was for people with problems to fail half the time now, rather than 100% come Nov 1. If you're one of the folks having problems, check with your application team or us to help resolve it.
