Default Free UK TV Listings Application

http://www.robs-home.org.uk/software/index.php

"MyTV - Current Version: 0.11. An application for Pocket PC 2003 (I may be able to provide a 2002 version - watch this space) that downloads UK TV listings directly from ITV's web site, and reformats the results to be more Pocket PC friendly."



DJ Apod pointed out that this free program is available to download UK TV listings. 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?

Sorry, I'm not there atm. ops: 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.

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.

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...

You can get the latest version from http://www.robs-home.org.uk/software...ad.php?id=mytv
