Looking for an extremely lazy short-cut...

Hey guys, I've just been flicking through the tv guide trying to flag up anything I particularly want to watch over the week, as I find that with so many channels available now I tend to forget if there's something specific on. As I went, I jotted a quick appointment reminder down in the P800's calender; this got me thinking. Wouldn't it be cool if there was some way of reading an online TV guide (e.g. www.radiotimes.com in the UK) and being able to select each program you wanted to be reminded of - then have calender entries created (with duration, channel and an alarm maybe) that get bluetoothed over to your phone 😃

Thing is, I'm King Stupid when it comes to programming, so there's no way I could write a program to do this 😮

Anybody up for the challenge? Or am I the only incredibly-lazy, TV-addicted member of this forum... 😉

Sky+ does all the above in terms of scheduling and recording.
You could use the IR port on the phone to control that.

However, with Sky+ the idea is that you do not have to actually be there for the programme, so needing an alert on the phone for it is moot. 😃 [/i]
