Tracking TV shows via RSS

Alexander Turcic · 03-12-2006, 10:25 AM

This is tragic yet I knew it was unavoidable: Last night I missed my favorite show Battlestar Galactica again. Rather than letting rage do the talking and have me trash my TV, I decided to hack this feed. It keeps track of popular TV shows that are on each day, with data provided by TV.com.

To directly access the feed, go to
http://feeds.feedburner.com/mobileread/tv

Other ways to access the feed, via:
Google: http://fusion.google.com/add?feedurl.../mobileread/tv
Bloglines: http://www.bloglines.com/sub/http://.../mobileread/tv
Newsgator: http://www.newsgator.com/ngs/subscri.../mobileread/tv
Rojo: http://www.rojo.com/add-subscription.../mobileread/tv
Yahoo: http://e.my.yahoo.com/config/cstore?.../mobileread/tv
Feedster: http://www.feedster.com/myfeedster.p.../tv&confirm=no
My MSN: http://my.msn.com/addtomymsn.armx?id...obileread.com/
Pluck: http://client.pluck.com/pluckit/prom.../mobileread/tv

Considering that feed items are updated only once a day, I ask you politely to configure the feed's refresh rate in your client accordingly (update limited to every few hours should be sufficient).

Um, isn't this what TiVo's for? I just cancelled my DirecTV service, but when I had it it was the greatest thing for helping me to remember which shows I liked.

And, though I was a fan of the original Battlestar Galactica and I thought it silly and lazy to bring it back. However, I might have to reconsider re-upping this DirecTV if the chick in the poster is a part of the show. I mean, hubba hubba.

Bravo! Thanks Alexander.

Seems that if you Tivo'd BSG for the finale you might still have missed the final part of the show... http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds30432.html

So if you did Tivo it, better make plans to catch the end Mon when they reshow it!

Glad some of you like it

Isn't it?

Here's some more info on how to use Firefox Live Bookmarks:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/livebookmarks.html

If you want to add this live bookmark, simply go to the feed, then click on the feed icon and then select where you want to save the live bookmark (in my case: Bookmarks Toolbar Folder).
