DvbLink TV Server and PercData EPG Loader, Part 3

Where did PercData come from?

The Montomergy One hits the nail on the head with this one, EPG is hard in North America. You can run various EPG scrapers or you can use something like Schedules Direct although you may need an IP lawyer to help you figure out if you are in compliance with the terms of service. The MontogomeryOne HTPC article is an excellent read though, it covers a lot of aspect of setting up an HTPC.

PercData seems to offer a reasonable alternative for EPG data at an affordable cost. It integrates seamlessly into the DvbLink TV Server, it's supported and it allows an all-in-one DVR functionality on something like a NAS.

When I had DirecTV several years ago, I really liked having the whole house DVR available any time of day or night. But it was a relative power hog: https://youtu.be/k-WnBEzPbAM considering it was only usable for TV programs.
