The lazy man’s ultimate tv-guide
* First: I have a Kiss dp-558 with a modified firmware. This allows me to remotely (from my laptop) switch channels, and a lot more.
* Second: TV-Browser (http://www.tvbrowser.org/) is a TV-Guide. It’s incredibly cool, and has plugin support.
I have combined these two with the “Switch Plugin”. I can click on a channel and choose “Switch to” and my Kiss switches to the channel. But this isn’t what is so cool.
* The cool:
You can mark a program in TV-Browser with the “reminder plugin”. You then setup the plugin to send the reminded program to the “Switch plugin”. You mark all the programs you want to watch that evening…and then TV-Browser will change the channel automaticly when the program starts.
It’s the ultimate tool for the extreme lazy tv watcher.
Enjoy.
The Switch plugin in TV-Browser can execute an external program, so you don’t really need a Kiss, but anything that you can send command to…like a remote, will do.
