cttc Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) I haven't looked at it closely yet but it appears Seven Melbourne has started sending TV-Anytime style data for those interested. EDIT: Only noticed type 1 CRID's so it is probably useless if they don't also send type 2 CRID's (Series). Edited December 9, 2009 by cttc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cttc Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 What does that mean? Broadcasters can send unique ID's (Series/Episode) for a EPG show/entry that PVRs/etc can then use to record every show of series by matching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredofrog Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I wish broadcasters would just insert the content type like ABC do all the time and SBS some of the time. My tv then has a selection menu to choose from the type I want to see e.g. Children's, SPort, News etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prl Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I wish broadcasters would just insert the content type like ABC do all the time and SBS some of the time. My tv then has a selection menu to choose from the type I want to see e.g. Children's, SPort, News etc. It's unclear from the FreeTV Operational Practices guides (39, 44 & 58 are the relevant guides) whether the stations should be sending valid content_descriptor data (it certainly allows them to). If they do send it, OP 39 says what it means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgdownload Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 just a question on this CRID system can implement this into my current PVR ?? if so how?? so annoying missing the end of my shows sometimesalso is this CRID information free for anybody to use? Its meant to be only available to Freeeview PVRs and only future models. However as you note, it is being broadcast openly, so theoretically a non Freeview PVR could have its firmware updated to handle CRIDs. We'll all have to just wait and see what PVR makers of all flavours do. Till then, just keep adding 15 minutes of post padding to your timers.
