Hm, this wiki bears some more investigation: http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XMLTVProject

I'd need to go and find my old USB stick to refresh my memory, but I think that was where I got my listings from. I used a rather simple word macro to reformat it into the defined input format for a freebee .PDB format converter IIRC and then fed the output from that into my PalmOS app on the device.

Of course, everything's a lot more connected these days so it should be a simpler process to do the same thing (fewer steps at least).

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.

This is great resource, known about it for a while. A lot of apps and plugins use this for their data and I think it has worldwide support if I remember correctly. I knowvsomenof the Media Center gus I know have used it to fill in the listing gaps that Microsoft doesn't get.

Processing XML is quite simple these days. That's the point of it! To create structured data.

Yeah, it's nearly creeping onto aircraft systems. Just another five years and we'll be there I think ;)
