TV Show Reminder

[jschulman]

So there are a couple apps out there that have some sort of ability to show tv guide stats. And some can do reminders, but ONLY for new shows. What I am looking for is an app where you can select a TV show, say "Stargate SG-1". Then have it remind me of episodes 5-15 minutes (preferably selectable) before the episode starts. These are for re-runs. And if you could tell it to old remind between certain times, like mon-fri 5pm-11pm, that would be great. Nothing that fancy.

Actually I think the best thing you could do is write to the developers of those apps and kindly ask them to add this (simple) feature on their applications.

I wrote one of them and they told me they could not do that:

It doesn't display the re-runs indeed, as the app is fetching the information from TVRage.Com: TV Shows - TV Series - TV Listings - Online TV Community!, that doesn't contain the re-runs and therefore would not be possible.

Well, I guess that's it. If you can't find a source of information that contains reruns too, we can't do anything.

I'm not a programmer, but I did find this:
ktyp's RSS TV Listings - Fresh Feeds Served Daily

Seems to me if MythTV can do, there should be an App that can do it.

I just let Myth record the new eps and watch them whenever I want. Real-time TV watching is Epic Lose.

I have a HTC Thunderbolt and just downloaded an app named "TV Time NLSN" and it seems to be working well.
