Will it work in Korea?

Can I get TV listings if I live in Seoul, South Korea?

Thanks

I dont know. Your best bet is probably to head over to google and search for 'xmltv korea'

If I can't get the TV listings, how is GBPVR without them? Are they needed to use the program?

You can use it without them, but its nowhere near as good.

I use TVxB's XMLTV "stripper", but there are a few (various kinds) of programs around like this. All these progs do is basically look at online listings e.g. http://pearl.tvb.com/schedule/index.html and work out how to "strip" out (read) the schedule in a format where it can be placed in a xmltv file, which GBPVR then reads.

There is currently no country "ini" for Korea at TVxB, (so you'd be breaking virgin ground here, generating or making your own ini files) http://www.tvxb.com/country.htm, but you COULD probably get it to work. If China & Hong Kong works (double-byte) works, I'd hazard a guess it could do Korean.

The TVxB site does note there is support for east asian doublebyte characters. http://www.tvxb.com/doc/UCS%20Translation%20Tables.htm. This listing DOES include Korean Characters. http://www.tvxb.com/ucstables/euc-kr-ucstable.ini

Good luck!

If you post some URLs for Korean TV on-line schedules, then I can try to setup some TVxb configuration files.
