Getting notified when a movie hits tv

[mian]

Are there any sites, software or plugins that would let me select a movie and would then notify me when it's going to come on network/cable tv (email rss or other alert)?

It seems like a sufficiently useful service that someone would have thought of it, but my googling did not turn up anything. But I figured if it existed, someone here would know about it.

Thanks

Maybe the autosearch/autorecord function in EWA (the webinterface of gbpvr) would do it for you.

That works for me, and it's not limited to movies...

Thanks guys, looks interesting. I'll install it tonight once Kings is done recording.

You already have it. It's part of GB-PVR these days.

Just go to http://gbpvrmachinenameoripaddress:7647

You can set the admin password in config, but I don't think you even need to log in for most functions.

It is enabled. Looks pretty sweet. I wish I didn't have a dynamic IP now.

I wish I didn't have a dynamic IP now.

Most routers shipped within the last five years or so support dynamic dns, and a dyndns.org account is free. Even if your router doesn't have dynamic dns support (or you otherwise don't want to use it), you can use their windows client on your gb-pvr box.

once you do that, you'll be able to go to http://miansgbpvrbox.dyndns.org:7647 from anywhere in the world. of course then you'll want to set ewa to require a login for all access, otherwise anyone would be able to mess with your pvr.

You'll probably also want to install the EWA command line utility available from the wiki. I set the windows scheduler to run it once a day just after my overnight EPG update, so no need to even start EWA manually.

Thank you! That's perfect.

Will do.

It's not often I realize I want something and then I get quite so much of it, much less more than I wanted. This looks like a rock solid solution to my aspiration. I appreciate everyone's help
