Are there any alternatives to DigiGuide?

I'm now looking for a program that is just as good or better than DigiGuide, know of any?

Got this e-mail from them today...

We regret to inform you of the suspension of our United States service. Sadly, due to the lack of interest in our service in the United States combined with huge supplier costs, it is no longer economical to support the service at this time. The service will cease being updated as of today, Friday May 16th 2003.

But we are confident that in the near future we will again be
able to resume the service.

Regarding their last sentence, I will not use them again! If they are so confident, why not still provide the service that I paid for, now.

That cant be good. i had digiguide for a couple of years but slowly we grew apart and now i just use a regular tv guide.

It was a good service though

So P3-450, this is all your fault!:D

Thanks,

Well not really i dont live in the US.

Im not getting blamed for this one. lol

Let's hope it's not catching. I've been a fully paid up UK member for over 2 years now and wouldn't be without it. Perhaps one day I might have to be...!

I found 2 great alternatives, the first is called FreeGuide - TV Guide Works really great, though it is a little slow at downloading the listings, and it does have some great options.

It does use version 0.5.5 of xmltv if you want the latest version 0.5.10, it is available for download. You'd just replace version for version...

Easy, once you figure it out.

The next alternative was to use a program called XMLTV2DG 1.0. DigiGuide will import XMLTV listings that XMLTV2DG downloads.

This is only really meant for the US, since DigiGuide canceled its service here. :mad:
