Hi BJ,
All good valid points. I can see why not much can be done re my last post, sorry if I came off a bit like "it could be better", it wasn't my intent at all :)
I was thinking though that another installed (doesn't have to be a windows setup.exe) could install everything, set up schedules, do the reg hacks etc. Even something written in perl and compiled. Just a one clicker for the technophobes to enable guide data.
I'm fine with setting it up the way it is, it's far far easier than it ever used to be (smatguide etc). I was more thinking about the non technical people out there.
The guide functionality is awesome and I'm wrapped you're working so hard on the categories and the meat of the guide, rather than worrying about the aesthetics which is what I was talking about.
I was more coming from the point that I want Icetv guide to become the defacto guide standard for MCE that everyone can benefit from. Lets face it, if we wait for the stations, MS or the "online guide governing body" (can't remember their name) to get off their backsides, we'll still be using TV Week in 10 years time.
I do have broadband but my modem doesn't have a built in pppoe client so I have to use a broadband dialup connection to connect. :)
<edit>Removed a question answered elsewhere in the forums.
Keep up the good work ;)
Cheers,
Arkay.
