How to improve Live TV listings (images and info)?

Former Plex user here learning how to use Emby.

 

I've officially shutdown Plex and am completely sold on Emby! One thing however that I've noticed is that my Live TV listings are sometimes missing images and descriptions (although I'm getting pretty much all the listings titles). I'm using tvguide.com to pull the  tv listings using the zap2xml method recommended at the link below:

Is there anyway to improve the success of pulling images and descriptions, for example using a different service besides tvguide?

Try schedulesdirect.com, never had an issue in years, and well worth the yearly sub.

Thanks. I signed up for the trial and selected Emby as my software when I signed up, but how do I get the json file endpoint to point Emby towards?

Hi, just add Schedules Direct as your guide source and configure it with your login credentials from SD.

Oh duh. That was easy. I feel dumb now. Thanks!

This is way better than the tvguide.com data. Sweet.
