New shows, Season Premires App? Notification?

#1

Post by Glitchy » Tue Dec 27, 2011 11:50 pm

Is there an app, or notification for android phones that tells us when New shows, existing series season premires are coming on within the 2 week window for media center? so we can schedule recordings?

Thanks

Jeff

Not sure it's what you want, but I use the CAT with an iCal file imported into a Windows Live calendar to tell me what shows are coming up.

Perfect!

I take it you have to download the iCal file 'bout every two weeks?

Thanks Much

If you sign up for a CAT account (free) then Windows Live will auto import the iCal file itself, and keep it updated. As you're asking about Android I guess you're using gmail calendars instead, I assume they have a similar feature. There are instructions in the FAQ on using a gmail calendar.

Great! I did sign up with gmail, but also have "live" accounts. I'll switch it over.

Exactly what I was loooking for. Reminders of new shows and returning shows like Terra Nova/Game of Thrones on odd schedules, or shows others recommend so I would remember to set up recordings.

Thanks for all your help
