Topic: What's on TV now

Enter your zipcode and optionally TV provider at widget set up and get listings, not unlike tvlistings.aol.com or tvguide.com.

That would be great... and there is probably an ad opportunity in there too.

It would be even easier if it could get your listings from your my.yahoo.com or equivalent, so they could handle the region and carrier stuff.

Re: What's on TV now

I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of tie in with Schedules Direct(http://www.schedulesdirect.org/). There might be a way if you have an account to do some XML parsing that would allow for you to get your schedule and display it on your Chumby. The convenience of this is that when you set up an account you also set up which schedule that you are associating with. Thus there is less configuration that the widget needs to know.

It would be a great tie to help support the OpenSource community and the related PVR projects.

Re: What's on TV now

Not sure why this has to be built into the chumby device- it sounds like a widget to me.

Nothing stopping someone from making it as far as I can tell.

Re: What's on TV now

Yeah.  A widget would be fine.  Wrong forum.  Sorry.
