Now I feel a bit dumb!

I started looking at building a "theme" for iGoogle and thought that as you
can get them to change based on the current local time, I would make a BBC
ONE version for backstage.

http://www.google.co.uk/ig?skin=http://www.ukfree.tv/igoogle/igoogle-theme0001.xml

Consequently I went to look at the schedule feeds again, and I built a TV
Anytime feed from:

http://www0.rdthdo.bbc.co.uk/services/api/bbc.schedule.getProgrammes.html

And then I had a look at the feed:

http://tinyurl.com/3c4cb9

And I note, for example:


<ProgramURL>dvb://233a.1004.1044;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:29:44Z/PT00H30M</ProgramURL>

That the time listed is 20:29:44 for example, then there is

<PublishedStartTime>2008-01-28T20:30:00Z</PublishedStartTime>

So, it's not a secret, it IS published and it looks like I need to get onto
Microsoft and get them to use the right data!!!!


Appreciate feedback about the iGoogle theme... I'm thinking that a BBC TV
one that shows 1, 2, 3, 4 or  1, 2, CB, CB.  Is there a way to get a picture
for each programme automatically?
