Welcome to Schedules Direct

Schedules Direct is a non-profit organization whose mission is to educate the public about the benefits of Open Source Software and other free software, provide support functions for such software, and provide funding for research that facilitates the improvement or creation of Open Source Software and other free software for the benefit of the public at large.

The cost of membership is currently US$20/year, with a 7 day free trial. A 2 month membership is also available for US$5 for those who do not wish to commit to an entire year.

Your membership fees help us fund programs to help your favorite Open Source projects. In exchange, our members receive access to raw U.S./Canadian TV listing data for the Free and Open Source Applications they use. Those applications then use the data to provide things like PVR functionality, search tools, and private channel grids. For more information, please read about our membership benefits and what your money helps us do for the Open Source community on our ABOUT US page.

Schedulesdirect.org server outage

Tuesday evening, the SchedulesDirect.org web server locked up and wouldn't reboot. We were down for about 28 hours. During this time, data downloads continued to function, but members couldn't change lineups. We regret any inconvenience. For more information see this forum post.
