* This is a work in progress with some debug code still remaining *
Introduction:
YTVGuide connects to www.yourtv.com.au and displays the TV schedules
for all channels Free To Air in your area for the time you choose.
If you find any bugs or anything that "doesn't seem right",
please email me.
Requirements:
- AWNPIPE: (For GUI. WDIGEST option disables GUI)
Installation/Usage:
Simply extract to anywhere, and type RX YTVGuide in a Shell/CLI window.
What's new:
- Changed guide location to www.yourtv.com.au as EBroadcast uses new
javascript code to encrypt all of the guide information which uses
many CPU cycles. YourTV encrypts the timecodes only.
Disclaimer
==========
The following is taken from http://yourtv.com.au/legal/?action=copyright
as of the 20th of December, 2007.
----------------------
Copyright Information
The TV program listings remains at all times the property of the copyright owners and that the end-user must not in any way challenge the copyright owners claim to copyright in the TV program listings;
The TV program listings are not, in any way, downloaded or used in conjunction with any device, such as customer equipment or a set top box, which permits manipulation of the TV program listings, or which permits scheduled program recording;
The end-user may only use the TV program listings for the purpose of viewing online for the end-user's personal use, and must not sell, supply or otherwise provide the TV program listings to any third parties;
The end-user agrees not to adapt or alter the TV program listings;
The end-user must not copy, publish, exploit, split, record, re-encode, redirect, relay, alter, retransmit, resell, redistribute or otherwise offer or supply the TV program listings (including all or any part of the TV program listings) in any way including via the Internet or any other means of communication; and
The end user must not exhibit, or permit or facilitate the viewing of the TV program listings (or all or any part of the TV program listings) in a public viewing area.
----------------------
You are the end-user.
1) Everyone has the right to challenge a copyright claim. This point is
therefore null and void. Nevertheless, YTVGuide does not challenge
any copyright owners.
Mere facts cannot be copyrighted. Specific aggregations of facts
however can be.
2) YTVGuide does not permit/save in any format that can be used in
conjunction with any other device such as a set top box that permits
manipulation of the data or allows scheduled recording.
To be technical, a "device that allows manipulation",
"such as customer equipment" could be a computer.
Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox allow you to save to a format
(.html) that be be opened up in a program that can manipulate it
(Dreamweaver), therefore Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox are
breaking this rule because it permits the saving of the .html code.
Merely visiting the website would then be "using" the data with a
program that allows this type of saving.
In general, and what YourTV's 2nd point is trying to cover, is that
YTVGuide doesn't save in a way that's compatible with any other
TV equipment.
3) As the end-user, you agree not to save the guide data to
the computer.
This means that only in countries where these laws are not
applicable, are you able to use the "weekly digest" feature of this
program, as it automatically saves the guide data to a text file.
As a technical point again, all types of viewing are "offline"
because it's already been downloaded and saved to your browser
cache. Unless they mean "viewing while online". If your Amiga has no
monitor connected, and you use this program to automatically
download the guide and print it out, then dispose of the paper once
you are finished with it, this is no different to any other
"online" viewing.
4) YTVGuide is a BROWSER, and all browsers interpret the raw HTML code
to display the information in a presentable way to the end-user. If
this is "modification" or to "adapt" the listings, then all browsers
are guilty. The difference is that YTVGuide is specific only
to yourtv.com.au
5) All browsers copy to a cache, whether in memory or the hard disk
drive. YTVGuide does not publish, exploit, split, record, re-encode,
redirect, relay, alter, retransmit, resell, redistribute or supply
the program listings.
6) YTVGuide is for private use only.
Again, you are the end-user. If you believe these points are invalid,
it is still you that it applies to.
