MyTV, Opera application V2.6 Jan 4, 2009 6:16:58 AM

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:
v2.6: Time header floats on top, scroll position maintained when you advance back and forward in time.
v2.4: minor fix - load next and previous time blocks on startup.
v2.2: misc fixes to comply with zap2it changes.
v2.0: fix to comply with some zap2it changes, add version check.

Many thanks for creating this widget - I've been struggling with zap2it for some time now. One suggestion: please make it take up less screen space when it's "minimized" - perhaps shrink it into a smaller rectangle. Thanks again...!

I've been waiting for someone to do tv listings from zap2it. :smile: I didn't have the drive or knowledge to do it myself.

1.02 - 2 very minor updates, L/R arrows weren't hidden when in minimized mode, and the color dropdown menus were a little off.

That's not a bad idea, I'll have to think about it.

Generally I like it! And it's one of rare widgets that really can be useful for people. :up:
Maybe you should consider minimized view with "now showing" or "coming up" scroller.
BTW, I don't watch TV at all (my wife do)! p:

I may be biased, but I think this is a pretty sweet widget. For starters, I believe it's the first widget to show TV listings for the US. Second, it's been ajax-ified so that you get usually instantaneous scrolling (depending on connection speed) to the next or previous time chunk, no more waiting for reloads! Check it out...

If you love it or hate it or have bugs or suggestions, let me know!
