Sbs

I noticed that SBSWN has some incorrect listings when compared to SBS News on the SBS website.

Does this guide data get updated from a scraper on the SBS website or does it require a manual change?

Thanks Nick

Guide data is manually loaded by the ever hard working band of volunteers.

If you find errors then it would be appreciated to correct them if possible as a larger pool of volunteers are always welcome :)

ok - for reference on SBSWN
Tuesday - Saturday (not Mondays)

Changed:
Mandarin News from 2:00pm from 1hr to 30mins

Added:
Business Report from 2:30 - 3:00pm

Let me know if there are any issues.


Cheers Nick

Is that the only change you have noticed?

SBS is usually uploaded by just one person. So I can advise of changes.

Yes it was because I watch it.

Could you advise them that "NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" replaces the French & Russian News between 4:40 & 5:55 on Tuesdays - Saturdays.

These could be permanent as I read that SBS are changing their News & Business on the main channel.

Thanks Nick

Ok will do.

Wouldn't a scraper be a better solution for SBS & ABC, or are there legal/copyright issues?

[petestrash]

There are copyright issues with all stations, and made worse by the recent overturning of the iceTV judgement.

Next week's SBS News has been posted and the changes, mainly "[Nightly] Business Report" and "NewsHour with Jim Lehrer", are not included.

Can we contact the uploader and get them to adjust their template?

Thanks Nick

I haven't had a reply from them since the initial queries a few days ago.

They may be away.

SBS is usually done 2 weeks early
