PiCoGuide v.1.00 Beta Release Notes

  • This software was designed for 800x600 resolution. It will not scale well to other resolutions.

  • Extract the zip file to a folder on your c:\ drive, it will not fuction properly if you extract to your desktop.
  • There are two executables in the zip file. Picoguide.exe is the general version of the software. PicoguideSS.exe adds a Showshifter specific function of changing the channel map to reflect what's currently on. Use at your own risk.
  • Although PiCoGuideSS.exe will re-write the channel map every half hour, Showshifter will only refresh this data when it starts up.
  • PicoguideSS.exe requires that Showshifter is installed in the default directory of your c:\ drive.
  • The XMLTV program will run in a DOS window. The first time it runs, you will need to input your zip code, cable provider as well as the channels you would like included.
  • To speed up the download of XMLTV data, we suggest you limit the number of channels by choosing only your favorite channels.
  • This beta is limited to viewing one day of data.
  • This beta will record to a PC-PVR using the TVPI TitanTV command.
  • This product is freeware, however, if you use this program and would like to support its further development, then please make a PayPal Donation.
