Pocket TV Browser
The smallest, fastest, easiest way to find out "What's On TV" with your Pocket PC. Ever wish you had something like "TV Guide" for your handheld? Try Pocket TV Browser, the electronic guide that makes browsing TV listings as easy as browsing the web, and makes searching simple, fast and fun! Pocket TV Browser made Handango's list of "Best Lifestyle Applications for Pocket PC". - Browse personalized TV Listings just like browsing the web, using familiar controls like Home, Back and Forward buttons.
- Download up to 7 days of TV listings for as many channels as you want, using listings provided by Evolve Solutions.
- Download up to 14 days of XMLTV listings from any site that XMLTV supports (see http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmltv for more information about XMLTV).
- Detailed listings include show titles, original air dates, descriptions, cast, ratings, and more!
- Searching has never been easier or faster. Tap on a title, an actor's name, or a single word, and Pocket TV Browser instantly shows every match in its database, bringing new meaning to the term "hyperlinking".
- Use the Search icon for more powerful search options. Not sure how to spell something? Just tap a few characters and pick from a list. Searched for it before? Pocket TV Browser remembers!
- Smart search results mean you don't see duplicates unless you ask for them, and results are always listed in chronological order.
- A variety of views allow you to list upcoming programs alphabetically, by time, by channel, by release year, and even by movie rating.
- Add or remove programs from your Favorite Programs list OR your Pocket PC's Calendar with one tap on the Favorites icon. Use the same icon from the Home page to display all your Favorite upcoming shows.
- Filters make it easy to browse shows in specific categories, sets of channels, etc. And you can assign friendly names to filters, such as "SciFi Movies".
- Customize the appearance and amount of information Pocket TV Browser displays with different fonts or colors, and improve readability with built-in ClearType support (requires Pocket PC).
- Runs on Pocket PC devices, as well as Palm devices, Handheld PC devices and older Palm-size PC devices.
- Don't have a handheld handy? No problem! Pocket TV Manager (included with Pocket TV Browser) comes with a built-in Virtual Pocket PC.
- Leave Pocket TV Manager loaded on your PC, and new TV listings will be automatically downloaded as often as you like, insuring that your listings are always up-to-date, without having to wait.
Pocket TV Browser (Version 1.xx) is an English-language release, and TV Listing coverage is currently available for the U.S. and Canada through a subscription service provided by Evolve Solutions, which is free for two weeks and $10/year afterward (payable directly to Evolve, not DoubleBit Software). Alternatively, users with XMLTV experience can use XMLTV listings for free; however, we do not offer product support for XMLTV. Pocket TV Browser registration ($5.00) is separate from the cost, if any, of your listing subscription. Please try both Pocket TV Browser and the listing service of your choice FREE for two weeks and then decide. We are working closely with Evolve Solutions to provide you with the best and most dependable online listings on the market, but we have no financial relationship with Evolve. Thanks for giving Pocket TV Browser a try! |
