nxtvepg
Browser for TV schedules in XMLTV format

Welcome to the homepage of the nxtvepg software package, a browser for TV programme schedules (EPG) stored in XMLTV format. nxtvepg supports flexible merging EPG from multiple sources and displaying the result in a compact table view, or a grid view. It supports filtering the TV schedule based on a large number of attributes, a filter shortcut list in the main window, adding custom columns to the view to mark programmes matching predefined filters, and reminders for individual programmes or filter shortcuts.

nxtvepg also features an integrated Teletext EPG grabber, which uses a TV capture card for automatically extracting TV schedules from programme tables in Teletext from a given list of channels. Acquired EPG data can be merged and browsed immediately in the nxtvepg GUI, or exported to files in XMLTV format for use in another browser. Currently, the list of well-supported TV networks consists mainly of German TV networks. Support for other networks can be easily added on request, provided they transmit Teletext with useful TV schedules.


History: From 2000-2008 nxtvepg was originally developed for receiving and browsing Nextview EPG, which was an European standard for transmission of Electronic TV Program Guides within analog TV broadcasts. However, as the world has switched to digital TV broadcast since, it is no longer transmitted today. Therefore, support for this standard has been removed from nxtvepg in release 3.0. More...
