Again, I'm only a user, but I slightly prefer the .json.schedulesdirect.org namespace over the old .labs.zap2it.com. For anyone transitioning, a simple search and replace would sort them out. For new users, the new namespace makes more sense - although maybe the "json" part needn't be there, e.g. maybe it could be IXXXX.schedulesdirect.org. I've also heard it suggested (I think not be Schedules Direct themselves) that maybe Schedules Direct could talk to Metabroadcast or Press Association to use their data for UK. Maybe SD won't always be using zap2it/Tribune/Gracenote data sources. In general, it seems to me that users consider they are using SD as the data source, not whatever upstream data source SD happen to use, and the channel IDs should reflect that. I'm not suggesting to change channel IDs in the existing tv_grab_na_dd though, just in the new grabber.
