New Australian TV guide source - Page 3

NickName · 2008-05-25, 04:22

Once again you have come up with the goods. It does as "advertised" with no grief.

I do agree that the list of channels is a little daunting, but as selecting them only needs to be done once, it's not really an issue and it's far better to have too many channels than not enough (and than have to manually add them).
I guess as a workaround people could share their ini files, so for example I could share my Gold Coast based ini file and people could just load that. I don't use Foxtel (a deep personal hate of Telstr@) so it would only contain free to air, but it's a start. Anyway, it's just a thought for the truly lazy or time short amongst us, :-)

Well done and thanks very much. :-)

Regards,

Nickname

It gets every channel I can think of (more than 150 in total) including all the FTA and pay-TV channels. It supports renaming and duplication of channels, setting individual timezones for each channel, combining title and subtitle (this makes identifying recording files much easier) and lots more.

It has been tested (at my place

) under Windows Media Center but has never been tested under MediaPortal.

Anybody who wants to help with testing, and would like a pretty darn good source of TV guide data, please PM me.

Hello Angus,

Any chance to get your program too.

TIA,

Russell.

This grabber is outstanding. I live In Sydney and this is by far the easiest to setup up and definately the most reliable. Thanks Heaps

Hi Angus... I wouldn't mind trying out your program too!..
Thanks..

If you wouldn't mind...I'm about to build a HTPC using MediaPortal and having your grabber available to sell the concept to the missus would be great!

I am new to Media Portal and am interested in being a part of your beta testing for an Australian EPG.

Do hope this you are still offering this. Many thanks.
