gTVG TV Guide is an uncomplicated tool that allows users to view schedules of TV programs.
One of its distinct features is its ability to display every program, hide past, show specific day or channel, or show only favourites. Users can also search for programs by title, description, or category. Favourites can be restricted to a channel, time, or one occasion, and are displayed distinctly in the program list. Furthermore, reminders can be set to alert users at a configurable time before their favourite shows start.
The software also has a blacklisting option to hide annoying programs, a tray icon, and an XMLTV backend for easy configuration and updates. Users can monitor data changes from cronjob, ontv, etc., and display all relevant data.
To use gTVG TV Guide, users need to have GTK+ version 2.10.x, libglade, GConf, libnotify, D-Bus, and XMLTV installed on their system. The software comes with many minor enhancements and bug fixes, including a grid view, an edit favourite dialog, custom reminders for different favourites, matching of partial title for favourites, and a reminder duration option.
Other features include an option to play sound for reminders, recording of favourites with the possibility to prioritize or disable separate occasions, and suspend and wakeup. Users can also edit categories to rename, group and colour-code, and configure the start of the day. The software supports XMLTV audio properties and the --slow grabber command line option. It also supports tv_grab_au and tv_grab_cz.
In summary, gTVG TV Guide is a reliable software application that offers several useful features for users to view their TV program schedules. It is easy to use and offers a clean and intuitive interface that enhances user experience.
