[Request Name]
Episode titles linked to tv.com
[Description]
Currently the episode titles are linked to Tvrage.com, and I find that Tv.com community is larger and keeps the episode info up-to-date.
Maybe have an option where people can choose between TV.com or TVRage.com
[Target URL]
http://www.tv.com/ |

I disagree. Here are a few arguments why not:
- The airdates, shownames and episodenames are delivered generously by TVRage.
- "Discovering" links to TV.com would take quite some "scraping" of their site (which they don't allow afaik) since they don't have XML feeds that can be used.
- TV.com is infested with advertisements while TVRage is not.
I don't think its "fair" to use information from TVrage and link to TV.com.
Also, that the community may be larger but that does not mean its better. I've been submitting episodes/information to TV.com but it takes ages to get it approved, and sometimes they disapprove it without any grounds.
TVrage is faster, has far less ads and not those annoying ones that say "please wait before we take you to TV.com".
You could probably do it yourself using Greasemonkey. |

Not for me. TVrage is a decent website and has a cracking API. I also agree with Sypher, its a bit off using the TvRage API and then jumping of to some other website. TvRage provide a good service for My Episodes users, we should support them. |

We asked TVTome for a data feed and they said no. |
