Great response, thanks. I will be trying out your Channel Lineup Change Notifications script after the Email Log Alerts script starts working for me (@bnhf working this). I know that the scripts use two different email approaches, but I only want to work one task at a time.
I'm a noob but I am beginning to understand the evolving TVE landscape and some of the limitations that CDVR faces trying to take advantage of TVE. My local provider charges $5 per month for boxes and requires us to have at least one of their boxes. That provider box is used on our main TV and that way we can get the all of our provider's channels including the ones that lack TVE support. I have had success using CDVR and TVE to build and manipulate my local provider's TVE channels into an m3u that I feed to non-provider boxes running a non-CDVR android client. I map CDVR's TVE m3u channels into my provider's channel numbers so that channels are the same on all of our boxes. My suggestions to you are aimed at helping me track and manage TVE changes so that I can keep my non-provider box's m3u files up to date.
The script would need data from different subscriptions ...
I may be missing your point but, from reading the community TVE subgroup, I've (perhaps mistakenly) come to believe that support for TVE (Y, N, TBD as suggested in my original post) is universal across service providers. And if it makes things simpler, as you can see from my use case above, for now I am only talking about live-channel TVE for subscriptions from local providers, not TVE from nationwide providers like Hulu, Netflix, etc.
