Enhanced freeview EPG

Post categories:

| 16:08 UK time, Tuesday, 2 August 2005

I'm looking at using the ´óÏó´«Ã½ TV feeds to provide an enhanced Freeview EPG.

I use the Topfield 5800 Freeview PVR which has the ability for the user to add files to it. Using a custom EPG display app (one of many) I can upload data in the correct format to enhance or enrich the Freeview EPG.

In it's most basic form, my idea is a converter from the XML to the format the Toppy takes for it's EPG.

On top of that, with more time, a Web based app could also be made to provide browsing of the listings and timer setting on any web browser at any time. With the right setup, these could then be transferred automatically. Effectively allowing you to program the PVR remotely from anywhere in the world.
