Note that this program is still a beta release, though Rob does seem to be currently working on it. I've been looking for something like this for a while, so will give it a whorl to see how it goes. Now just to make some time to watch TV. :wink:

Slightly OT, but what channel is The Simpsons on in the UK (Wales specifically) and is the season premiere this coming Sunday (Nov 7) there as well?

[Andy Whiteford]

Hopefully Scottish channels will be included shortly.

Sorry, I'm not there atm. :oops: Which channel is Channel 4?

I'm asking for a family member and she says she gets BBC1, BBC2 and ITV. And no, she doesn't own a Pocket PC ( :bad-words: ), so this app is out of the question for her.

Umm, channel 4 is on,..... channel 4. :D

Sorry, but it is. :wink: If you can get BBC1, BBC2 & ITV, you will always be able to get Channel 4. It's Channel 5 that's sometimes hard to get. That's all the analogue TV channels there are in the UK. If you want more, you have to get a digital box, cable or a satellite feed.

I think if you live in wales and scotland you get variations of Channel 4 e.g. S4C.

Useful app - would be great to have activesync do the updates for us when we sync...

OB.

Woo Hoo now I can see when the reality, makeover, repeats and soaps are on :roll:

Seriously though it looks promising I wonder if NI channels are supported? I'll download it and find out.

I see ITV are starting a new channel tonight as well though it's erm all repeats

Well you will be pleased to know that I have just added support for NI and Scotland, as well as full program details, it is a bit slow, but it seems to do the job...
