Hello. I advised freitasm (admin) earlier today about this.
I've designed a new website, that uses the Freeview XML files (I have contacted Freeview - no reply as yet).
It allows you to log in, and enter partial keywords of TV show titles and creates a personalized TV guide of most of the TV Freeview channels in New Zealand.
I do not intend to interact with other devices or anything, but it's a quick way of finding your favorite shows without endless scrolling.
I'm still tweaking the layout/presentation. but it's working.
Once you have set up, there is also a public version of your TV schedule so you can bookmark it without logging in.
(though I'm planning on future tasks - remove folk/schedules that haven't logged in within, 3 or 6 months, etc.. I haven't thought of that yet)
Thoughts welcome.
NOTES:
- This uses the 8-day XML files
- Does anyone know the XML file on the EDEN TV channel? the one I found hasn't been updated since FEB 2023.
- any other favorite TV stations you watch that I haven't got yet?
- I've not found a "master" XML file to list all the other XML files.
if you work at Freeview, I'd be interested in contacting you - send a private message, please.
I'm sure someone designed a better one - but I haven't found any for NZ TV.
Oh yeah, I guess someone may ask for the URL. https://nztv.kwister.net/
