Hi Matt,
I currently use the TV-Anytime feeds and have been tempted to move to
the programmes feed, however there are a few problems with making the
change. These are:
* only short descriptions available
* no genre information on channel listings page (ie
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/programmes/schedules/south_east.xml)
* no link between data in TV-Anytime feeds and programmes, making
any historic information difficult to integrate.
Any suggestions of how to get around these problems, so i can finally do
the switch.

I'm looking at trying to add TV-Anytime as a format to /programmes.
Out of interest, I'd be interested to know what api calls you, or any
others, are/were planning on using, and what parts of the data you
would be extracting.
As is inevitably the case, for some parts of TV-Anytime format, there
is a clean mapping from data in the /programmes back-end, but for
others it is less clear!
regards
Matt

Anthony,
The API is maintained but we would encourage you to use
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/developers for new applications.
My question inparticular is:
If anyone minded if it was used directly by a user application, or
would
prefer if the
results from it were cached in a file ?
Many people use the API directly but you can also download bulk data
files from: http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/feeds/tvradio/
Cheers,
Chris
