Hi Bill!

Actually, the show titles that are in the Pgm x TV Show items, are derived
from processing tvl3.tmp.  It just so happened that the show names you saw
were the last that had been picked up from the last time I had TVL enabled.

So, you can grab the show names from TVL and send them to Ace Buttons from
within ECS.  Is there something else you wanted on that button beside the
show name?


Cheers!

Hi Michael!

Yes, because I don't know what the names of the shows are....


The idea is to have a button for HBO, HBOP, etc, etc, etc, (5 HBO's, 3
Showtimes, 3 Cinemax's) and have ECS "pull" the names of the shows, start
times, run times (in fact, the line of text that is appropriate to the
channel) from TV-GUIDE.TXT.....  Mark's events have taken most of the work
out of it, I just wanted to selectively display individual "channel"
information on individual "buttons" in ACE.

Your way works just fine if you have certain programs you want to watch
regularly (you already know what their name is); I'm trying to put up Movie
Listings, whose titles change every several hours.

Bill
