Notification of Lineup Changes

[rickgillyon]

Does anyone know if there's a service in the UK that will warn you of changes to Sky or Freeview lineups? It'd be nice to get an email warning me before my wife has to tell me about missed recordings...

Remember when I shared with you my spread sheet with the different tables etc. Well I finally turned it into an application.

Part of it can be setup up to send an email when changes are found.

PM me your email address and I can add you to the list if your interested. Below is an example of an output.

This is only a part of it. It will automatically update FRQ files and use SAGEX to update STV. Works for DVB-T, DVB-C and DVB-S

No need to get it to send you an email.
If you use EPG collector you can get it to output a sagetv .frq file. This will have the complete lineup. Use a script to copy it to your sagetv tuner frq files and hey presto everything updates automatically.

Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a notification when changes happen.
