Sky TV Listings Website

    I just noticed today that Sky have updated the format of their TV Listings on their website, but for me at least I do not see Sky Ireland as a provider/region. Instead it seems I now need to login, and view channels based on my subscription.

    Anyone know any website where I do not need to login to view the Sky Ireland EPG ?

    I also wonder would this new format allow you to grab the data from their website easier ?

    So does Digiguide give you the Sky Ireland EPG or you have to customize it yourself ?

    Also how much does it cost, as its not clear from the website.

    I was looking for a website with the Sky Ireland EPG, as I have logged a post over on GreenButton to ask them to sort out the Sky Ireland EPG on media center, and they are now asking me for a website with the EPG, which unfortunately since the recent Sky update I now don't have. :rolleyes:

    It seems to only show Northern Ireland ?

    I was really hoping to find something that I can just point the guys on GreenButton at without much effort on their part, or I think they won't do it.

    It can give you the EPG numbers if that is what you want.

    I use the free TV-Browser from http://www.tvbrowser.org/

    It pulls its info for Ireland and the UK from The Radio Times.

    Ideally what I want is a website that provides the Sky Ireland EPG 'ready-made' so there is no customization or configuration needed.

    I am not sure the guys over on Greenbutton will want to get into downloading, and customizing something to resolve this issue. I assume they expect only to be pointed to a website, which given Sky's recent changes, I now don't have. :(

    I thought that the MS guys over on The Greenbutton would accept you giving them the full channel listing in a specific format.

    I must do the same for the SmartVision TV service, which isn't listed at all, suppose I should wait to get the new SmartVision STB.

    Yeah, I followed their process and provided a listing as much as I could upload, and they said they had enough to go on. They then came back and said the provider was updating the EPG. Then a few weeks past, and I keep telling then 'no update' has happened.

    Now they have asked me for a website, which I don't seem easily able to provide. I have replied and let them know that, and am also asking them if I could provide the information they need in any other way, so will see what they come back with.
