Australia Availability

Just checking in on your roadmap to include Australia, I am an avid Get Channels user in Oz and this functionality would round out the offering perfectly!

They have said their guide provider wont be adding AUS or NZ till sometime Q2 next year. Quite a few of us waiting patiently.

Hi, IceTV provided an XMLTV feed for all Australian regions.

Any further word on when Channels DVR will be available in Australia?

Hi, we were in discussions last year but Channels needed 4x3 artwork whereas ours are “posters” at 1500 x 1000 pixels (3 x 2) which was a problem as none of our other XMLTV customers use them (Plex, EMBY, TvHeadend, NextPVR, DVBLogic, JRiver, TV Scheduler Pro, Myth etc). If Channels DVR can accept our poster size then we’d be glad to. We now have both TV and movie posters for almost all shows and update the local, non-movie/TVdb, ones ourselves. We could quickly put a setup guide together if the artwork was OK. I was under the impression you had a global Gracenote deal?

+1 Regarding Australian DVR interest :slight_smile:

See International DVR

Common Channels just adjust your program to accept the artwork size that IceTV XMLTV provides. It doesn't have to fill the artwork field fully as it is only a visual guide to the program. It is the EPG data that is critical not the artwork
