I had to update twice to get it working again, but it works

Would it be possible to have the widget display the current season and episode number?

Thanks Matt. I took your advice and requested that TV.COM add the show via this form:

Since this post, I have released 2.3.4 of the Dashboard Widget. The widget only checks for updates on startup which is why @110rdr33f4 is technically correct about needing to reboot. Alternatively, you can close and reopen the widget.

@NoName I think you can probably contact TV.com about that sort of thing.

Rebooted my computer today, and found out that an update was available. Now it’s working again. A bit slower to load, but faster than before.

There’s no other way to check for an update, a reboot is required. I can’t find any version number either.

The Dashboard widget has been listing all my shows as “null” where the broadcast day/time should be. It is listing “TBA” as the name of the next episode for all my shows as well.

It has been doing this for about two days now.

Thanks for updating the widget!

By the way, are there any plans for us to be able to manually add a show? For example, Cavuto on Business comes on Saturdays at 10:30AM, but I can only find his weekday program. I’d like to be able to add the show name and time myself (or suggest the show to TV.com?)

My widget is stuck at “Retrieving Forecast” with the spinning icon. I’ve re-installed and restarted and still the same thing.

Any ideas?

I’m having an unusual problem with Tv Forecast. It’s saying TBA on todays shows while the day before the same show stated the episode title. Anyone else having this problem?
