I'm just going to admit it. I don't have the bandwidth to maintain TTG for multiple listing sites. The truth is, excite is the only site that I have been able to keep up with for over a year. And at this point, most TTG functionality is broken for most of the other sites. Therefore I will be stripping out all of that unused code in upcoming versions, and will be supporting only the excite listing. I apologize if you've been holding your breath waiting for fixes for other sites.

The lesson I've learned here is that, even for sites that provide equivalent information, the differences can be just too great to unify under a common concept.

Why excite? Because despite it's plain jane design, it provides the richest information in a form that can best be leveraged via scripting. Its relatively sparse design also lends itself to the original and central theme of TTG: a compact, at-a-glance grid.

The latest version includes enhancements to the Preferences dialog, a new Omit Channels feature (channel ranges), and a minor performance improvement. See Docs link.

Steve, there is a preference called omitChannels. I have documented it now. Follow the Docs link above. Also, watch for the next release coming soon that sports a new Preferences dialog...

The meevee adapter has never worked very well because they load most of their information dynamically *after* page has loaded. Consequently, greasemonkey invokes TTG before their page is finished, and I have not been able to get my wait-until-everything-is-loaded guessing logic to work reliably. I am removing meevee from the supported list. Sorry folks...

zap2it.com has undergone a redesign. I am re-working that adapter and will announce an update soon. Thanks to Quincy Edwards for the heads-up.

Because Tight TV Grid is a multi-site script, it's difficult for me to monitor how well it is working on *all* of the sites *all* of the time. Therefore I would like to recruit individuals who use a given site on a daily basis, and who would be willing to keep me informed about issues as they arise. You would also be in a good position to influence future development.

The sites that I currently need help with are: tvgiude.com, zap2it, aol.com. If you are interested in helping, please contact me directly at chris at refactoror net. I am willing to take on more than one advisor per site; when an issue arises I would include all participants into the email thread, so that anyone may weigh-in on the problem/solution.

thanks!

Glad you like the script. I'm not sure what problem your screenshot is meant to show me? Maybe you are referring to the vertical line? That's the current time marker (it moves in real-time). If you don't like it, you can set "showTimeMarker" to false. (See http://refactoror.net/greasemonkey/TightTVGrid/...)

The reason that TVguide.com loads so slowly is that they actually send an incomplete page to the browser at first, and then load more stuff in the background. Therefore TTG has to "camp out" until the page is fully constructed before it can safely modify things.

Hmm. Wonder what the problem can be. Are there any clues in the Error Console? Could you own excite script be interfering?

As of 2.5.3 the new highlighting scheme is: first-run programs highlighted in yellow, favorite titles bold. Enjoy!

Thanks for the feedback Randy. I have been thinking about exactly such a feature. But instead of just highlighting the word "New", it may be better to highlight the title itself. But that would require multiple highlighting "modes", since the favoriteTitles feature already does title highlighting, (bold in the case of excite). I would welcome suggestions on the best combination of highlighting styles for the various sites that TTG supports.

tvguide.com is fixed
