Tv Listings in XML
XMLTV - It’s about time. I don’t know why this isn’t done easier. Apparently, there’s even support for canadian listings as well, which is rare. I think I might try to make something worthwhile around this idea. A PHP page that reads in the tvxml, displays the tv grid for the day, and allows you to download an event reminder in iCal format.

Build a Linux Media Jukebox - “it’s now possible to put together a Linux-based home server in a small-footprint case that can store and display your digital photos, rip and then serve up audio, play MPEG videos (and DVDs), and even act as a TV/TiVo. How versatile you want this server to be depends on what gear you already have in your A/V rack. But at a minimum, this can be a great place to store your digital images, rip and store all your music, and have them all in one central location, both for your living room entertainment, and for viewing/listening from any other PC on your home network.”

    I’m looking for someone to contract with, to make me a custom app that will display XMLTV listings on a webpage, just about 10 channels for the primetime hours. Know of such a programmer or service?
