<p class=MsoNormal>I had a similar issue. I’d find out about some
show that would come on in > 2 weeks so I wanted to get notified when it was
possible to schedule. I wrote a simple website that let me specify rules
to search for. For example, shows that begin with “bored to death”
(case insensitive) but weren’t on channel 12. Then every night the site
would query the db and see if any shows matched any of my rules. If so, I’d
get an email with links to mythweb so that I could schedule the particular
episode/series/etc. The site also has the ability to edit and search so
that I don’t have to wait for the nightly email.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anyway, if you think it would be helpful I can give you more
details.<o:p></o:p></p>
