TV Programming v1.2

My first script to Live Plus!

Description

---

This script uses XMLHTTP to get TV programming information from the cable tv provider. After parsing all information, you can browse channels programs for the current day or even to the 10 next days/5 last days.
You can add alerts for you favorite tv shows too, and let WLM alert you with a toast when your show is about to begin!

Currently I only added a portuguese cable tv company ("TVCabo"), so this first version it's only useful for portuguese people, but I plan to add other companies.

I'm writing it down! Thanks

Woah... I was totally thinking about making this with XMLTV or something...

You can use http://www.bleb.org/ for UK TV listings in xml btw.

Sounds like a great script, although i won't be using it because mt TV is broken

Use the Plus button on the main window or on any chat window.
I just used this way because I don't know what's the best way to load it.
