Manipulate Your TV Listings with TiVo+Ajax

    yawn, someone has some time on their hands. Seriously, maybe better scheduling, or better recomendations would be nice. I sometimes miss a show I really like b/c I'm watching something else. That ability to put a type of show on some priority listing that allows you to be notified if one of these types of shows is playing would be cool. But why would you want to see the schedule as a pie chart?

    This is a really cool hack, it's nice that it doesn't require me to get telnet or anything running on my tivo. However, it's not very accurate. For instance, I have 121 episodes of Good Eat's Tivo'd, but it's only reporting 13.
