I have started noticing differences between show information displayed by SageTV (using its internal TMS data grabber) and the data I get from Schedules Direct (both raw and XMLTV) for some airings. I haven't yet detected any repetitive pattern.
One example is for the Bones airing from 2009-05-25 at 8:00PM MDT for Zipcode 80107 (local broadcast over the air on KDVRDT 31.1 and KXRMDT 21.1):
- Zap2It.com and SageTV both show the episode title "The He in the She" for showID: EP007542010070. The descriptions match, too. The episode title and description match the content that was aired.
- FreeGuide 0.10.10 (using XMLTV tv_grab_na_dd) and raw SD data (collected with a modification of the Python SOAP downloader from this forum) both show episode title "The Finger in the Nest" for showID: EP007542010065. The description of the episode does not match the content that was aired.
Is this a case of preferential treatment for some of Zap2It's business customers, or a Zap2It server updating problem, or some other issue?
Thanks and regards,
Rick
