well if i was chargeing for it i could understand your concern but since i knocked it up in my own spare time and its FREE your tone comes accross a bit rude.

i have edited the post above (sorry about that) and if anyone would like to take on converting this application to C++ so it will work for SM2002 users i would love to hear from them.

wow its late i must sleep :)

Nice app though. Looking forward the 2002 version. :lol:

Have downloaded and some feedback if you don't mind.

- No icon
- Regional variations (possibly in different cabs to save on GPRS usage)
- Personally, I think Menu > TV Guide is a pointless Sub menu

But still very nice as it stands now, cheers.

Cheers for the feedback ferret:-

Im working on the icon --shouldent be to hard to fix for the next update
I noticed the region variations--nothing i can do at the minute but in the future i would like to set up a numch of different cabs for different areas :-D
(only ITV is really effected i think coz i couldent get a generic one--lucky people who livein east anglia :-D)

I get your point about the TVGuide submenu but its there because in the future when i add more channels it will be 'terrestrail' 'digital' 'sky' if you get my drift, also on previous versions i had a 'football league' sub menu that was updated every week so that may make a return.

Cheers ferret-----if people post as much feedback as possible this will help future development thanks alot :-D

Nice to see the return of this app! Good work MCEX.

I'll repost my feedback from the old thread as the comments all still stand!

Quote

- How about when viewing TV listings, mapping left and right to change channels, e.g if you're looking at 8:00 on ITV and press left it takes you to 8:00 on BBC2 etc. Reason for this is that it takes a while to scroll down and would be easier to go to the time you are intersted in then flick through the channels, also brings me onto my next point...  
- Page up/down feature, e.g using 7 and 9 for page up and down like in SmartExplorer - would make it much quicker/easier to navigate.


I'd also back ferrets call for an icon - how about the nice simple one i've attached.

Keep up the good work!

It does yes but you are only downloading a cab of around 10Kb in size so it will cost you next to nothing!

Great App :) :lol: :lol:

I agree with Crafty, scrolling across to other channels at the same time would rock 8)

Thanks for all the kind remarks :-D

All feedback is welcome as long as it is constructive so keep it coming.

I have exams and stuff for the next few weeks so dont expect any major udates to the program till after then----the TVlistings will be updated however.

Someone had PM'd me about converting to SM2002, currently in talks as it were :-D :-D

Fantastic application! And it's great that the effort is being put in to updating it every week!

Improvements that can be made: (I'm just stating these as improvements, I'm not whinging about the program :) )

I'm being super picky, but my attention to detail is crazy - the "h" in CH4 is like this Ch4 for Monday and Tuesday, others are fine.

Would it be able to make it so that buttons 7 and 9 make the page go down and up respectively? Like Smart Explorer? because, I mainly want to know what's on TV at prime time - 7-10pm.

You could remove the TV Guide option after you open the application, just make the days appear, once less click, that's all.
