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$35/year, with a 7 day free trial. A 2 month membership is also available for US$9 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.

When I moved the mail server, I broke the lineup support page!! All fixed.. sorry about that. On the plus side, looks like outbound email has otherwise been working perfectly.

Please resubmit any tickets submitted in the past few days

more email problems

Mailgun has been unable to improve email deliverability. Non-Microsoft emails were also being rejected. We've just switched to Amazon SES... we'll see how it goes! (we're not allowed to send email directly from our AWS hosts)

eMail delivery probelms

It appears our eMail delivery vendor (Mailgun) has caught the ire of Microsoft's mail servers. (the whole reason we switched to them in the first place).

When you signed up with a Microsoft email we warned you that they often accept mail for delivery and then drop them. Now they're not even accepting them, which is more honest, but still bad. Of course we never send marketing emails.

If you're not receiving emails from us, now you know why!

We have tickets open with the vendor to resolve the issue. They already moved us to another IP, but it got blocked too!
