MegaEPG works great with CanalDigital cable TV in Norway, but things change........
Canal Digital (and maybe other cable providers?) are now sending 3 new BBC channels as a replacement for BBC Prime. These are BBC Entertainment, BBC Lifestyle & BBC Knowledge (BBC World remains). The channels (except BBC Knowledge) are now listed on the Norwegian dagenstv, but without content! They are however also listed on the Swedish site (again except BBC Knowledge for some reason) - these channels seem to be broadcast simultaneously in all the Scandinavian countries.
Would it be possible to include these in the standard listing for Norwegian MegaEPG users?
I also wondered if it would be possible to include listings for HD channels in MegaEPG. Even though these channels cannot be viewed in media center (yet....) it would be very useful to have the listings showing in the same guide as the SD channels to make it easier to browse what is on, before watching in another program. Would this be possible? The common channels in Norway (at least the basic cable package on Canal Digital!) are now
BBC HD
Discovery HD
National Geographic HD
SVT HD
TV Norge HD
Voom HD
Eurosport HD
Silver HD
History Channel HD
Unfortunately none of these are listed on the Norwegian dagenstv, but again some of them are listed on the Swedish site. Again would it be possible to include the Swedish site in the script for channels missing on the Norwegian one?
Maybe someone has an alternative source that's more complete?
Thanks.
I'll add the new channels to
I'll add the new channels to the upcoming release. Regarding the HD channels, can you provide some details about the Swedish site (URL at least? :) Thanks.
Dagens TV websites
Thanks for considering this improvement. I hope I'm on the right track when it comes to the website. I presumed that you access something from http://no.dagenstv.com for the Norwegian EPG as the script is called dagenstv? The Swedish site which has some of the HD channels is http://dagenstv.com. The programme guide is in Swedish but this should be OK for Norwegian viewers.
By the way the BBC channels are now showing up in the Norwegian dagenstv with programme listings.
Thanks for the input. I'll
Thanks for the input. I'll add a grabber for the Swedish site as well.
HD channels
Where can I find the script that grabs the HD channels mentioned in this thread?
Also I will suggest using the tv-listing from VG (example: http://www.vg.no/tv-guide/#d=2010-01-23) as it contains ALL the channels broadcasted in Norway!
