V2.1 May 29, 2008 2:42:57 PM

A widget for showing TV Listings, pulled from Zap2it.com

A real-time TV guide for the United States, pulled from zap2it.com. Uses AJAX to provide nearly instantaneous (depending on your connection speed of course) scrolling across time, no reload required!

Other features:
-pick your specific location and provider - not just national listings
-only display your favorite channels
-custom color background for different genre types
-open a single channel up in a new window
-click on a program and view a popup with program details
-search listings (new window)

Changelog:
v2.0: fix to comply with some zap2it changes, add version check.

Thanks. Like I said, it still beats TVGuide.com. In fact, I just used it to check on the Phillies game.

Hm, I hadn't noticed that because I'm on Central.

I thought that meant I had fixed it (used to be forced to Eastern), but apparently not. I'll look into it..

It's working in US Central Time. I'm in US Eastern time. Can I fix this or do I have to do arithmetic to figure out when the show starts (grin)?

Otherwise, I really like it. It's a lot faster and friendlier than tvguide.com. I can do the arithmetic if it means I don't have to use tvguide.com.

It seems to get the time zone wrong for me - I see a mention of a time zone issue in the comments, but no details. Anything I can do to fix? Otherwise looks great, thanks!

OK, working again thanks.

By jai2k, # May 26, 2008 6:41:20 PM

Yeah, I should have a new version up soon..

By ja002h, # May 25, 2008 4:57:43 AM

No longer works...

By jai2k, # May 24, 2008 10:12:33 PM

Ok, it should be working again..

If you mean it's coming up blank when you submit your zip, I'm seeing that too, I'll look into it...

By ja002h, # Sep 14, 2007 5:36:41 AM

It won't take my zip code to set my provider. Opera 9.23 build 8808.

If you can suggest a good non-US site to scrape, I'd certainly look into it..

By ja002h, # Sep 7, 2007 2:14:17 AM

How about a non-US version???

Very useful, just want to say thanks to ja002h for making it.

Outstanding Widget.

One small feature request.
Have the time blocks at the top of the display stay static as you scroll down the listings. Would be useful if you happen to scroll right a couple of times after you've already scrolled down.

One large feature request.
Expand the search function to include the same fields as the advanced search on the web page. (from xx - to xx, HD, etc..) Having the search results show up in the widget like when you click on a show for info would be the ultimate in usefulness.

Thanks for the hard work. This will get used daily.

I love it! Works great for me.

By aek03002, # May 25, 2007 5:33:05 AM

Very nice widget, I use it frequently, thank you!! And everything is working properly.

By gettinoriginal, # May 11, 2007 3:07:00 PM

Yeah, there are a couple CSS properties I need to add back in for the detail window.

... fixed. Everything should be working now except for the strange time zone issue.

By ja002h, # May 11, 2007 4:25:26 AM

Fixed the listing display issue. Thanks!

However, I also see that the program detail is now buggy. Repeated station logo and lots of text that doesn't belong.

By skapig, # May 10, 2007 2:30:28 PM

Works again, but has a new bug: when set to "Display favorite channels only" the listings are displayed with empty rows in the positions where the unmarked channels would be displayed if the option were disabled.

Great widget and one of my most often used.
