TV Listings on site
      #153730 - Mon Jan 24 2005 10:33 PM

Does anyone know a free service that will place an automatically updated listing guide for terrestrial channels (BBC-Ch4) other than DigiGuide?
My webserver accepts pretty much anything so most things should work.
Thanks

I'n new to RSS aswell. It appears you need an RSS reader (loads available on download.com) and you point it at an XML file generated by the website you are feeding from.

That's just the theory, but I am investigating it also, so until a brighter spark comes along, that's all I can offer at the moment.

How good is that site I recommended? My problem is solved.

Does anyone know are there any RSS feeds available for the Liverpool Echo and Sky Sports?

Go to that website I pointed out above.

Then in the box that says URL Enter the web address of the RSS Feed, you need to enter an RSS Feed of a website you want. I will use the BBC as an example.

Go to this page and at the very bottom right, you will see a link that says RSS Version. Click that link.

Then you will see XML - Click here for your RSS feed

So click there. You need to copy and paste the URL of this page into the original URL Enter the web address of the RSS Feed box.

Follow the formatting instructions and press the Generate Javascript button. Copy and Paste the resulting Javascript into your source code in your web editor and you are away. You have an RSS Feed.

Any more problems let me know.

John
