hi, i've started to write a bit of code to automatically record programs from a tv card based on dowloaded tv listings in xml. i'm not sure how felxible the page is that i'm currently using, the site is an english site, so should only contain info for my country, but some people said it has worked in america.

so i'd be really grateful if anyone could just load http://www.ananova.com/tv_listings/_xmltv.php and tell me if it is correct for their country, and of course which country that is! The output is XML, and NOT HTML, so it'll look like gibberish, but if you quickly look at the source code it will look an awful lot nicer.

thanks!

nope, Utah, USA

hmm, maybe trcikykid was a lying to me!

I don't lie. Maybe only when I'm stuck in a no win situation.

And next time please have the courtesy to spell my name right.. geez.. or I will start lying to you.

sorry mr tajkrkaikdkacy

That's okay mr. askiid_cupid... don't let it happen again..

Chris, I don't know what I am looking for??? Here's a screenshot of what I see in Galeon if that's what you mean:

Oh and the source shot:

I am still not sure what you want to have us check though, the channels are different if that's what you mean??

Cool

I got the same picture as Chad, looks pretty *dumb* unless you have a program that reads the text and speaks it out

It doesn't show my area's listings.

It looks to me, Chad, like it's giving you the listings for UK television rather than US Washinton tv.

To me in Italy it just keeps on loading until it times out, probably fault of my 56k conection..
