Can you use SilisoneDust HomeRunPrime with Cable card and MythTV to avoid the Silicone Dust subscription fee?
Is MythTV able to get that programming data for the schedule of TV shows?
How does this work?
Thanks.

MythTV can be used to record from an HDHomeRun Prime without paying the fee that SiliconDust charges for using the SD DVR service with the SD software. MythTV supports unencrypted and encrypted content using a cablecard. The content must not be copy restricted to work with MythTV.Can you use SilisoneDust HomeRunPrime with Cable card and MythTV to avoid the Silicone Dust subscription fee?
Schedules Direct is the most popular guide data source for MythTV. The guide data from Schedules Direct is high quality and includes guide data for many days. With SiliconDust's free app, Kodi, and MythTV, a very limited amount of guide data is available for free if you own an HDHomeRun. This amount of data is sufficient for live TV. The free guide data from SiliconDust should not be used with MythTV according to some folks.

Using Mythbuntu (https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythbuntu) is a common method used to install MythTV and configure the computer. A Schedules Direct (https://www.schedulesdirect.org) trial is free for seven days and can be used to try the service. The free basic hdhrepg2myth script is available at https://github.com/heyted/hdhrepg2myth.How does this work?
