I once hacked up a small Perl/Tk script called T[kV] Gids. It used to fetch information from http://www.tvgids.nl/ and print it in a "nice" format.

Unfortunately, the source site thought it necessary to change the layout, and I'm too lazy to patch it. In other words: the project died. (Actually, the only user besides me had to email me, pointing out it didn't work any more.)

And as usual, when something has been broken, you need it. So my quest for the next tv guide software started and not much later it ended at FreeGuide TV Guide. This software uses XMLTV, which in turn also uses http://www.tvgids.nl/ (and/or other sources), but luckily there are more motivated scripters at work there and a patch is already available.

I must say I like the FreeGuide TV Guide already. It has a good interface and the only bad thing I can think of, is that it's a Java app *shrug*. Still, well done though. I like it!
