I'm using an IceTv search RSS feed on my Wordpress page to display upcoming sporting events related to the site. I have a couple of queries:

Is there any way to sort the resulting RSS? Currently Im getting the events that are further away appearing at the top. Events that are broadcast sooner should be at the top.
2. Allow "network", "quality" and "live broadcast" options on RSS to stop duplications of programs in the RSS feed when broadcast simultaneously.

It would be even better if there was an IceTV Wordpress widget. Unfortunately Im not a code monkey.  :-[

Im sure that the networks are up to their old games running late start times at the moment. Is there anywhere we can complain so they might get a good foot in the hind quarters and told to pull their heads back into line? Im sure a program started nearly 15 minutes late last night and it wouldnt have been the only program to kick off > 10 minutes behind schedule in the last week.  >:(

Is there something that needs to be done to tweek the page layout of the IceTV interactive site for proper display in the web browser on my PS3? I actually use my PS3 browser instead of swapping to a PC when I want to schedlule an IceTV record job but the program guide gets squeezed down when loading it.

Thought this would have been an obvious keywrd for this program but it doesnt have fishing associated with it. Since it IS a fishing show perhaps the description could be updated to include the obvious filter word?

How about a feature where errors in the EPG can be fixed by account holders. Users could select from programs already in the schedule or even completing custom inserts by creating the title themselves. The change to the schedule can be allotted a flag based upon differing threshold levels. eg:

• Disabled
• Accept all (including custom)
• A Few submissions
• Lots of submissions
• Those verified by IceTV

and this could then be set within the device to fill the EPG where no program data (IceTV or channel) exists at the user accepted threshold. Whilst accuracy could be a major concern I think that the IceTV community would be the big winners in maintaining their own EPG and the interactive IceTV features would become the premium service benefits. I'm sure that there would even be some members of the IceTV community keen enough to write their own synopsis for the program info.
Issues with copyright could be avoided by allowing only submitted schedules for series already existing in the EPG as mouse clicks would then be the only input. In many cases this would also resolve problems with program length as the details of the scheduled program would already exist in the IceTV database. And of course (in the case of custom entries) IceTV can make every effort to ensure that IP copyright isn't breached by removing any information copied from other sources the channels "own"  :-*,  and the responsibility for the submission of the copyrighted information falls at the feet of the members of the subscriber community and not IceTv. (not unlike YouTube etc)
Of course users participation would be purely voluntary and those not wishing to participate can rely simply upon the information that is fed to their devices from the existing IceTV sources, but as a parallel service I see this as something to enhance IceTVs product catalog, strengthened by the support from the user community.

I dont get EPG for SBS on my S1. I only get the SBS News guide. Whats going on? Is this an IceTV, Beyonwiz, or SBS problem?
