^Boom! Free and better looking!

That is why I keep bringing it up - because you are not up front about it, and so potential users will know from the beginning that this product is fee based and not free - so they can make an informed decision without downloading the product or clicking on a link!

Can't revert to the earlier version because it has expired.

“Fixed Da[y]light Saving Time display problems.”
YIPPEEEEE !!!! :) :) :)
Some of us have been complaining directly to the project author(s) about this problem for *years* !!!!
Let's hope it is _really_ fixed, soon enough for the “fall back” coming this weekend. ;)

Sometimes, the tools used to compile the code force older versions to be excluded, sometimes the features leveraged from the OS (like Core Animation) *require* that you make something Leopard-only (as the feature doesn't exist in Tiger!).
By all means, petition the developer for support of recent OS versions -- just don't always assume its an oversight, or in their power to fix.

If someone could create a widget or unobtrusive program that would cull one of these *free* sources to populate a database and provide useful searching, it would be wonderful... and I'm assuming the public service will never suddenly become a fee based system.

I also don't use Dashboard and never found a good widget anyway. yes, yes, there are widgets. None I liked.
This program I like. It launches fast, it displays what I want to see, it's stable, and it works well. It's no frills, but it's TV listings. I want no frills.
And the fact that he stepped up and rewrote the thing to use a different service after zap2it discontinued their free service was top notch. I'm sure many other people would've just killed the app in some sort of silly protest about information being free. But this is the real world, and I still need my TV.
$15 every three months ain't great (but, again it's paying to the service, not the programmer), but it also isn't the end of the world. I'm sure if a viable free service shows up again that he'd consider rewriting to support that one instead.
This guy deserves support for keeping things going after zap2it split. It's a good app, to boot.

Given that TV these days has turned into a series of commercials, occasionally interspersed with some real programming (with paid product placement), I have little interest in paying for the privilege of scheduling of advertising. Yes, PBS is included in this. What do you think pledge breaks, auctions, and presentations that sell books and training material at the end are - advertising and infomercials.

I also find it interesting that the developer is comparing 'apples' to 'oranges' on the costs on the sites home page. The current price is given by the quarter but the 'hope' price is an annual fee. Why not just say what it really is - i.e. $60/yr so people don't have to do mental arithmetic. I suspect the reason is that $15/qtr sounds less expensive that it really is. This may be good marketing but not as informative as just stating the annual real cost for an easy comparison instead of trying to 'spin' it to make it sound less than it really is. It reminds me of the infomercials that advertise payments and the price of shipping, instead of just telling you just what the final price really is. Don't you hate that? I know I do. I just like to know what the product is actually going to cost me so I don't have to do all of that mental arithmetic. That is work works best for me and improves my sense of integrity and trust of the the seller.
