For the last year or two, I've wondered what we will do when Microsoft finally terminates the guide data, and makes our systems worthless.
Fortunately, someone who was frustrated with MS's recent switch from Zap2It to Rovi has developed a plug-in that will allow you to use Windows Media Center with Schedules Direct. Schedules Direct is a third party guide data service that uses the same source as Zap2It. There's a small fee, but it will allow you to continue using WMC long after MS terminates Rovi.
And if you're fed up with the crappy data that Rovi is providing, you can even switch to this new service today.
The plug-in is called EPG123, and you can download it here:
