Create reminders for your preferred TV shows on EyeTV using iCal.
This software is an AppleScript designed to be used with EyeTV and iCal. The main function of this software is to provide a convenient way to schedule reminder alarms in iCal for TV shows that you want to watch, but have no intention of recording. This can be due to a lack of disk space, or simply because you prefer to watch the show live.
When you use this software, the reminder will be added as an iCal event with the title "EyeTV Reminder:" to your "Home" calendar. The Location field will contain the channel number (and optionally, the channel name), while the Notes field will contain a description of the show (unfortunately, this text does not show up).
There is one thing to keep in mind when using this software: a converted EyeTV Program will be deleted by default after the event is added to iCal. A warning dialog is shown after each conversion, but the default action is to "Delete". Therefore, you should exercise caution if you do not want the EyeTV Program to be erased.
For instance, if you want to both record the show and have iCal remind you prior to EyeTV launching or switching channels, you should select to "Keep" the EyeTV Program. This way, you can have the program triggered by both iCal and EyeTV, allowing you to record the show for future viewing while being reminded to watch it live.
Overall, this software is a great addition to any EyeTV and iCal user's toolkit. It simplifies the process of scheduling reminders for live TV shows, making it easy to keep track of all your favorite programs.
