    The first URL you provided won't work due to the javascript. But the second or third link maybe a possibility. At first I had a question regarding what the meaning of (5qzq2k45jpkx1jmtayxthy45) is in the URL. But then after I notice the guide displayed only 2 hours of time.. Oh oh! I saw the only method (at least using the second link you provided) was to change the time from the drop down list and then press the "show guide" button. I don't think this site will be able to provide the information to the webEPG that James has written, unless I am totally wrong (I've been wrong before). Maybe there are some other websites available that don't use java in displaying the programing info. Does Yahoo have a portal in chile? If so do they have Yahoo TV? The reason I ask is I know James has a mehod for Yahoo TV programming and then I saw Yahoo! Research opened a new institute in Chile! http://www.cwr.cl/news-yahoo.html

    Hi Venessa,

    These should provide guide data, but WebEPG at the moment cannot support this grid format. I plan to work on this soon.

    Until then try the other one I added. You will only get titles, but thats a good start.

    Yes i try see Yahoo TV and it's great solution, (tv.yahoo.com) but i need Zip code for my country (Chili). I dont know my zip code :cry: (I have Cable connection but DirecTV works very very well for all Latin countries)

    I need fake zip codes (for yahoo) for non-US countries

    I use Zap2It, but have missing channels for my country, like "National Geograhics", "I-SAT" etc, and some others

    I added www.vtr.cl for you. Only titles at the moment.


    TVxb only supports the same as WebEPG. XMLTV arrgghh what can I say each country is a hard coded script.
