<p>Interesting debate. I am un the uk using freeview and soon freesat also. I use eit. Its easier to setup and also hope that at some point they will, at somepoint introduce realtime updates, its not like it would be very hard to join the dots between broadcasting decisions and guide data. </p>
<p>I would love myth to support hybrid but the complexity is horrendous and a usecase that would hardly be used compared to the development effort of hanling the permutations.</p>
<p>Nevertheless xmltv for long(er) range info and _-€ for 7 day info with series/episode information being optionally retained or overwritten. I am sure there are many complications and much user confusion that would ensue.</p>
<p>The upshot is that I understand from many that xmltv is worth implementing, and I was planning this as my next upgrade. I am surprised by the statement here that eit contains more series/episode information.</p>
<p>However my main concern is the instability of my remote frontend on initiaiting playback (hanging). Also my own implementation issue of nfs mount dependancies (one mount depending on the success of another due to many small hds).</p>
<p>The fun of Myth</p>

The EIP was updated during the day this week when the snow conditions<br>
caused Olympic events to be rescheduled.<br>
<br>
I use the EIP because it includes series and programme ids, resulting<br>
in better series link and duplicate episode detection than with<br>
radiotimes data.<br>
