Online TV Guide (beta)
Posted by Chris @ 7:37 pm
For the past 2 or 3 weeks I've been working away feverishly on a groovy online TV guide, making use of Ajax techniques, consuming these UK XML TV listing files provided by Andrew Flegg.
Anyway why I've decided to do this and how I've done it I'll answer when I write it all up properly - suffice to say if you've got Freeview, or you watch these channels regularly on Sky, then this should be very useful. It also covers several radio stations.
Anyway as a beta I'm after you guys to give me feedback on my efforts so that I can improve it and make it even more useful. You can find it here http://cgriley.com/epg/ (EPG stands for electronic programme guide). Any feedback you have, be it suspected bugs, improvements in look and feel, usability, etc let me know.
A list of known issues, compatability and planned features is on the page, so check these before contacting me! To give me feedback either reply to this post with a comment, or send me an email direct to [email protected]. Make sure you include the letters "epg" in the subject, or your email might not get through my spam filter.
Thanks in advance for your feedback, and I hope you find my little creation useful!

Fu*k me rigid, thats the best damn piece of coding I think I've ever seen you do!!Im completely bowled over by the use of styles and dhtml, the auto updating time selections one scroll is really impressive.
Not noticed any bugs as yet, other than to suggest putting a message in the main window as sometimes it remains blank on first load, also the "loading latest data" doesnt always disappear
But overall blody impressive, keep up the good work.

Cheers matey, will do. And all the inner secrets of the coding will be revealed when I write it all up, so you too can master the magic I've cooked up here!This comment posted by Chris
