In some cases, if you've got multiple data sources defined (I have 3), you can actually grab LESS total bytes from datadirect's servers and actually refresh ALL of the data. That is because of the way that the current code first refreshes tomorrow, then today, then the last day of available schedule -- multiply that times the multiple data sources and the total data retrieved is pretty comparable. The downside of this option is that the Qt XML parser is fairly inefficient and uses quite a bit of memory and CPU time if you use this approach. I still use it from time to time. The option is currently commented out in filldata.cpp because of concerns over wasting datadirect bandwidth, but if you uncomment the lines, and continue to use CVS, the uncommenting stays put when CVS merges the changes. In most "standard" cases with a simple one-tuner setup, you wouldn't want or need to use the option. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
