You did what Gary?? All approved projects get a number of coupon codes for their project and a monthly email that lists them as a reminder. You even have an unused code. Let me know if you need a refund.

As far as kickbacks, we can't do that because all apps must be non-commercial.

We (SD) do try and provide support for approved projects. So while we can't pay for time, we have in the past provided test hardware and sponsored booths at Open Source conventions and stuff. We probably should do a better job reminding app devs of this, but we do try.

The current number of SD accounts with EPG123 checked is 530 ( this also should be in your monthly email!)

There are more than that though. It wasn't even an option to check when I created my account back in the very early days of EPG123, and I've never changed my original selection.

The unused code was given out quite a while ago, but the person it went to has yet to redeem it. That person is still active here, even! :wave: YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, [redacted] :wave:

Knew that going in as an approved app. I don't expect anything, or even want anything ... just happy to serve.

Wow, didn't know the number went up that high. There's been a lot of activity this month and I won't see those numbers for a few more days.

Here are the numbers I had at the beginning of the month.
Active SD users : 356 (+64) (as reported by users' profile)
Fetch-14 users : 327 (+52) (data downloaded within 14 days)

So we went from 356 to 530 with most probably being new members to click epg123 in their profile. Even if they're all trial memberships, that's pretty impressive.

Robert, I noticed you kicked me a refund. Wasn't necessary, but I appreciate it nonetheless. :thumbup:

I really hope anyone choosing to use EPG123 throws Gary a bone.

If you look at it objectively, instead of from the perspective of a WMC user, where Microsoft handled the guide data fees, it is the right choice (if you are in financial position to do so) to give some bones to Gary.

Any time dude (even though I can't use your code on my Vista media center!)... if you need more codes or anything else let me know.. based on membership numbers you'll be getting more the next round.

(BTW, the problem isn't your code, I don't think the importer works on Vista.. I could never get it to work)

Do you get a subscription breakdown by country? I'd be interested to hear how many there are in the UK.

I don't have a breakdown by application by country.
