Tvheadend

I'm in the USA. Use all OTA recordings. Use Schedules Direct for programing

Every time I do a new load of TVH need to edit "Configuration/Channel EPG/Channels to set the EPG source using the drop down selection(A real pain) see attached for details

Is there a configuration that automatically does this?

Also any reason to use something other then Schedules Direct? It isn't a free service, something like $25/yr
