Nice idea, but I need US.

It certainly works well for me. I don't see the high CPU usage reported by some people. As Shaolin12 says, the non-allowance for BST (and presumably its equivalent outside the UK) means that I'm looking at programmes I've just missed. Once that's fixed I'll give it five stars; until then, four.

Excellent widget, unfortunately the 'Currently Showing' section
shows programes which are an hour out of date (User prefs set to England) & out of sync with PC clock. The daily listings works fine. Also the update icon has stopped working, and the
'currently showing' tab would be more useful if it auto-updated at 1/2 or 1 hour intervals. Still, a very useful widget which saves wasting paper and money on Magazine listings. Top idea

Yes I *love* the concept of this widget and I managed to configure it to show my faves, but alas; on a clean install of XP and latest Opera 9 as of 5th July 2006, the CPU usage hits 99% when I'm actually looking at the chan listings (2.6ghz CPU, 1024mb RAM); so I've got to give it a miss too

Shame, because I really do like it.

The only problem is the button you press in the top right - to change the channel - doesn't work properly.At least it don't or me - and this is SO annoying - does nobody test these things at all. You can click on the damn thing and get no response at all - it's only when the thing turns a lighter shade of white that it works. Otherwise this is a great widget.

And - I agree with the comments about the cpu 100% thing - it does this for me - this in itself is enough to spoil a great widget for me

One for the US would be nice.

Will United States support ever come?

By EatMoreCarbs , # Jun 26, 2006 2:40:39 AM

Æ Ø Å characters are not properly displayed. Other than that, great widget!

Yep, me too. I have recently updated to Opera 9, but as I got something with the default settings, I'm guessing something else is wrong...?

- got the exact same prob as akarno..

By pa2k , # Jun 21, 2006 10:45:08 PM

I've configed mine for 4 different norwegian channels, the ones I have, but I keep getting "No programmes currently showing". What's wrong?

By akarno , # Jun 21, 2006 5:55:22 PM

Czech and Slovak republic isn't working.

By Eso Rimmer , # Jun 21, 2006 11:51:22 AM

BUG: When I select Czech and Slovak republic, widget says No channels found. Please go back and select a different country.

By a8n , # Jun 21, 2006 10:49:55 AM

have you thought of creating tutorials for making better widgets? Because you seem to be the best that is developing for the opera community at the moment and Id love to get in and help out

Clean design however this program has to do ALOT more to ie for a sweed to beat startunwww.tv.nu
As it is now it's atleast not to a sweed really any useful.
My problems:
* Not resizable
* FirstPage: Too much empty space (ie: empty lines)
* FirstPage: Option to remove channelicons
* FirstPage: Option to show not just what's on right now on each channel but ie the next 1-3 progams too. All sorted after time starting and not channel
* SecondPage: Would be nice if the popup only showed the channels I've chosen in my settings. As it is now it shows all channels, from the looks of it.

No reason for this to be a widget. Has nothing to do with the browser. Make it a trayapp with alarmsupport, telling me (if i want) when my favourite show is about to start. And that not just when the browser is running (widget).

By SoftNoise , # Jun 20, 2006 9:10:34 PM

Well nothing works for the Netherlands so I can't give you feedback...or is this feedback

By Morpurgo.nl , # Jun 20, 2006 8:54:07 PM

I second the positive comments, this widget is excellent!

I too would love to see danish programming supported, the listings are easily obtainable. I'll gladly help out if needed.

Thanks alot for an awesome widget!
