Hi all,<br><br>I'm doing some research at the moment and am looking for some help if possible.<br><br>I've got over 300 channels coming in here via satellite, some of which populate their guide data with EPG, some don't. This makes the TV guide complicated as often I'm seeing 'No Data' in the guide. I'm on Astra 28.2E in Europe by the way.<br>
<br>I mainly follow the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Sky News, maybe a couple of others. <br><br>What I am looking to do is create a way of pressing a button on my remote, which then takes a list of user chosen channels, and prints a landscape A4 of the TV guide for those channels. <br>
<br>Maybe it's 9pm. I hit the blue-button on my MCE remote, and the printer throws out a sheet displaying a grid format (i.e. MythWeb style) for just channels I have chosen to be printed for the next 3/6 hours?<br><br>
It may sound a 'bit' odd wanting a hard copy of a TV guide, but I am not the only one in the house and the TV guide on dead-tree was always fun for circling programs. In an "I am watching this so try to stop me!" way! <br>
<br>I have had a look through the Mythweb code, but it's functioned all over the place and I got lost! What I'm thinking is design a script that pumps out PostScript based on selections made by the users for the channels they want on their dead-tree TV guide. If we did it to landscape A4, we could make it easilly readable. <br>
<br>I'm aiming to work on this, but I'd like some help if possible? I did look at FreeGuide as an option, but the print format is awful. Also, FreeGuide doesn't time-shift when you are in a different time-zone. So we need to use Myth's database. Can anyone suggest a routine for grabbing data from MySQL that would produce the same 15 min block format used in MythWeb for selected channels?<br>
<br>I think this would be very exciting code to design, and hope I can get some help with this aim.<br><br>Thanks in advance for reading my posting,<br><br>Bon<br>x<br><br>
