[COLOR="Red"]This software no longer works since Yahoo! has disabled the listing feeds.
If this situation changes let me know and I will revisit keeping this software active.
I am now using SchedulesDirect (http://www.schedulesdirect.org) and it works great!
--Joe 11/1/07


[/COLOR]I have posted a program that will enable your GB-PVR system to use Over-The-Air channels via Yahoo's API (USA only) for a Guide.

Download from http://www.donth.com/ota.zip and unzip into "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party"


===========================================
GB-PVR/Yahoo Over The Air Schedule Processor
--------------------------------------------

PURPOSE
-------------------------------------------
Developed in response to the announcement that Zap2It will be discontinuing their free TV listings service on September 1, 2007.

so can you do the same for cable/sat lineups? i like the ability to choose the channels before download.. love the extras too! Big Grin [the advanced stuff]

[could i just insert that into the .ini and do an update? with channels i suppose]

I have posted a new version that now includes the DLL (I forgot to include it) - Please let me know if this fixes the problem - the validation error you had should not be related to zip files but...

You can manually include your zip code, Provider code and channels in the INI file - it will work. Using the GUI just makes it easier to maintain and helps insure consistency.

Try it now

BTW: the latest version (0.7.7.12) does not require the DLL so I removed it from the distribution.
