Triggers are stored in a text file and are persisted across listing
downloa=
ds. Remind once will remind forever.

Only time they wouldnt trigger is if the listing supplier changes the
name.=
For example, a trigger for "Hollyoaks" on channel 4 would trigger
monday t=
o friday at 6.30pm, but would not trigger on a sunday because the Radio
Tim=
es calls it "T4:Hollyoaks Omnibus".

Please do not think less of me for using Hollyoaks as an example.

Thanks Max

The feature I use most of Digiguide (other than looking at it of course) =
is the ability to mark programs for reminder. This even works from one
seri=
es to the next with months in the middle. Saved me from missing some of
the=
programs I like because I did not know they were starting again - not perf=
ect of course hence all the questions.

So, I guess this leads onto xAPTV triggers. Do they work even if the prog=
ram is not in the current listing? Sort of remind me once or remind me
when=
ever you see it.  If not can this be added sometime - pretty please.......
=
Over to you James

I am aiming for a March prototype as I really want something to show at U=
KHA2005. Having this sort of extra ability would really be the icing on
the=
cake not to mention keeping the missus happy.

Thanks

Ian

Not digiguide, but xAPTV from http://www.mi4.biz does full listing, sta=
rt triggers and now/next. Pretty much all data can be requested, searched
a=
nd added to via xAP messages.

Hi y'all (sorry, just got back from the States where they actually sa=
y this
;-))

Has anyone xAP'd digiguide or even thought about it. I am sitting her=
e
working on the software for my home brew touch screen controller and
suddenly thought it would be great if it could reflect digiguide even=
ts
particularly alarms. Now and next and other good stuff too of course =
but
other tools can do this. I love these alarms but they are any only go=
od for
me if I have the laptop on which is not very often (main PC is in the
workshop these days).

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Ian
