Channel changes

Leave a reply

To stay updated with recent channel changes, the channel selection has been altered somewhat.

Some of the major Norwegian channels have been updated:

  • NRK Super has been retired. The program schedule is now merged with NRK3 as they are the same channel for all practical uses.
  • HD equivalents have been added for NRK1, NRK2 and NRK3
  • HD equivalent added for TV2.

The HD variants contain the same programs as the SD ones. The intention is to use either one of them but not both. They are placed next to each other in the channel list and in the channel selector.

Other changes:

  • Fox Crime has been added
  • Canal+ Family has been added
  • VH1 Classic has been added
  • Canal+ Drama changed to Canal+ Emotion
  • Rush HD has been retired due to lack of available program schedule data

These changes are already available and channels can be selected as soon as your channels list is updated. This happens automatically as a part of the regular update process. More changes are underway, to comply with other recent changes to channel availability.

Stay tuned!

New feature: Online profiles

Leave a reply

One of the new and anticipated features og TVA 2.1.12 is the ability to store your settings online and access it from different computers. Your profile consist of your channel selection, all your current alerts and the configuration for your automatic searches. In addition, it can be configures to include most of your preference settings excluding some system/location dependent of course…

The online profile feature is still quite experimental. By time the syncronization is intended to be completely automatic, but so far uploading and downloading of profiles is a manual operation.

Get started

First of all you need to register yourself with a username and a password. Your profile is attached to these credentials. Open the Preferences dialog and find the Profile Settings tab. Enter a desired username and a password. These credentials are used to download your profile on other computers later on. If you choose a username that already exist, you will be notified.

In use

To save and upload your profile press Ctrl+Shift+U. This will upload your settings to the online server. To download and load your profile on another computer, configure the profile system with your credentials as described above, and then press Ctrl+Shift+D.

At the time this is a manual process, so be carefull not to overwrite your profile with an empty one when configuring TVA on an new computer, i.e. uploading a “blank” one instead og downloading the previously saved one.

Since this currently is an experimental feature, please report any bugs or anomalies you may encounter.
