Guide Data Download Schedule per Service

[revengineer 127]

Request: I would like to suggest scheduling of guide data download on a per service basis.

 

Rationale: I have two TV services, one is HDHomerun, the other in an IPTV provider. The service on the HDHomerun gets the guide through schedulesdirect which can download data many days in advance. The IPTV provider's guide data is limited to 24 (!) hours only. In order to get as much advance guide data as possible, the guide needs to be refreshed several time per day. However, refreshing schedulesdirect data at the same frequency for two weeks at a time is tedious and slow. 

 

If the guide refresh schedules were decoupled, the more frequent daily refresh could be limited to the IPTV provider and these guide updates would complete much faster. 

 

I am sure schedulesdirect would appreciated the reduced load on their servers and bandwidth as well.
