I wanted to have the program guide as a desktop GUI application, to
access the EPG faster and more conviently. So, I wrote one.
It currently uses a listing grid, not a time-line grid as the built-in
MythTV and MythWeb EPGs do. It was much faster to implement, but maybe
it's also faster to use, I'll have to see.
A (for me) important feature is the listing of other airings of the same
programme, so that I can make a quick choice what to record when I see
there are conflicts: 2 interesting movies at 20:15 on different
channels, but one of them is repeated at 2:00, so I record the one movie
at 20:15 and the other at 2:00. (hm, I just realize, it might be a nifty
feature to also suggest alternate airings in the conflicts resolution
dialog.)
It also lists credits.
