@kevin c, @NoName You are both correct – the TV.com redesign has broken the Dashboard Widget and Web App. It has not affected the new iPhone App as this new version sources its data from TVRage. Bizarre that the TV.com redesign happened to coincide with the launch of the TV Forecast iPhone App

Looks like tv.com updated their site and is either blocking TV Forecast or TV Forecast is looking in the wrong place. When I try to refresh my widget, it says “Nothing to display”. The iphone web app for TV Forecast comes up unknown for each show too.

In continuation of my request to add unwatched shows list – what I think would be even better is that once a show is added and it has been telecast – it should automatically go into the unwatched shows list – from where one can remove it if one has seen it – this way the whole process is automatic and much easier to check which shows one needs to download and which one has already seen.

Thanks

PS – BTW just downloaded the application and already using it – it works like a charm – no bugs yet.

TV.com updated their website and both the webapp and the dashboard version stopped working as of 9/17. Everything says TBA.

I don’t know if it affects your iPhone app but if it does, I really hope that you can fix it and submit the updated version before Apple approves the iPhone app. I love TV Forecast and I would hate for it to get a low rating upon launch.

Thank you so much! I’m eagerly awaiting this…

A suggestion: Right now in the iphone web app version it shows that the next new episode of Heroes is on the 22nd and it’s a clip show. That information is kind of annoying, because I want to know when the next “real” new episode is. Maybe you could group episodes together or something. Have the next new one display, and then have a button like, next episode after this one or something. Thanks.

Thats great Matt -

There is one more feature which I would love – the ability to mark the shows as watched or unwatched – and then if one could generate a list of all the unwatched shows – it would make it really easy to keep track of the shows one has missed – specially when one is away travelling and wants to catch up with the shows when he/she is back.

Let me know if this is can be implemented

Matt – has Apple given any indication on how long the review process takes or is that like asking how long is a piece of string? Can’t wait for this app to be released. I’ve been checking back every day. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia.

@Uday C Absolutely. That feature didn’t make the cut for 1.0 but I guarantee that it will be in the next version.

Thanks for the reply Matt – I realised later that TV Forecast only shows new episodes – I guess what I would really like is the ability for the interface to show Season and Episode number for the show – that way If Im downloading from itunes (or elsewhere) I know which episode to get.
Cause when Im travelling I dont alays have all my episodes on itunes with me to check – so if it displayed Season and Episode no – it would be a great help.

Thanks

Love that this will be an App soon One request: any chance there could be an option for “second runs” — e.g. Torchwood is being rebroadcast in the US on HDNet after it was first run on BBC America. I love HDNet where it’s all true HD and they tend to have second runs of good stuff… but right now when I enter Torchwood on the web app, it says TBA…
