VGA TV Listings on your X50v - Page 3

05-14-05, 02:03 PM

For those interested...

I updated ZapMe1's great skin for those using True_VGA... as well as the one I use... for those interested... Just rename "zip" to "esz"

The file PTVL Project XXX III.zip is an upgrade to the former Ripper Skin...

This is a bug I guess !! I'm not sure that there is a solution for this, but it may be just some devices that this happens with..
I have an x50v, and my settings stay in order, and don't change !!

My X50v does not change the channel sort order, but I cannot for the life of me determine how to set it to the correct daylight savings info. I found this link:

but must confess it is no help to me. Anyone else got it sorted out?

Thanks,
Dobermann

with regret, I deleted the program. after manually deleting at least 100 chs at least 6 times, I gave up.

Just a thought here.... when you deleted the channels, did you do it from your PC at the labs.zap2it.com website or did you do it on your PPC under its settings? You need to do it at the web site for it to stick.

No, not the PVTL site, but this one:

http://labs.zap2it.com

You will need your original UserID and Password that you first used when you signed up for the service at the labs.zap2it.com site after you installed PTVL. From that site once logged in, select "Modify" and then just select the channels you want and save it. Since all are selected by default, and there are tons of them, I started with "deselect all", then just clicked on the ones I wanted and saved.

On your PC, start Weblink (Start | Programs | Pocket TV Listings | Weblink). Then click Start to let it download the new (and improved :) ) listing info. You then should re-sync, then from your device, select the PTVL program's settings and let it sort how you want them. I sorted in numeric order once and have never had a problem. Piece of cake.

Now, if someone knows how to adjust the setting for daylight savings time so that my Axim knows the right times for the listings, I would be in heaven. As it is now, I have to remember that everything is ahead one hour, ie, a program that shows as starting at 6pm really starts at 7pm.

Cheers,
Dobermann

No problem - glad it works for you! After all the questions that I have been asking here, it's about time I was able to help someone out instead!

Do you have the daylight savings issue with yours or is it at the right time?

JohnDaddyo · 05-17-05, 07:32 PM

no, my time seem to be ok. one thing for now is that I thought this was 13 days advance listings?
I'm only getting three. Also in hires, the only skin that lays out "perfectly" is the B&GII
It does seem strange that your system clock on your device is ok but not in PVTL? Was there a setting anywhere in Zapit or Weblink for timezone?

The 2nd "Sticky Topic" from the top should answer your questions !!

CHEATER!!! You're using the Pocket OsX MS wisbar theme too. LOL I get stuck between that one and the Explorer theme...Both are AWESOME!

I don't think I found why I'm only getting three days of data but you're a great person to help anyone!

The 2 skins that I posted should be work perfect for those using Oz_Vga in True VGA mode... otherwise I would suggest using the skins that ZapMe1 created for SE_Vga devices...

ZapMe1 · 05-17-05, 07:57 PM

JohnDaddyo,
It also says that if your not registered, that you will only get 3-days of info !! Once registered, you can get 13 !!! :approve:
