Summary: tv_grab_de_tvtoday for non-programmers?

Initial Comment:
from the bug tracker I can see that the TV grabber for Germany is working again. However, is there a way to get it for non-programmers (win32). The download section still list 5.45 as the latest version. Even if I had perl  , I doubt that I could compile it myself as I have never done something like that. I am sure there are others which have similar problems.

Cliffs:
non-programmers stuck with defunct win32 version of xmltv (de)
how to get it working in windows environment?

Would it be possible to publish alpha-exe in directory with enabled
directory listing? Then one could see the modification date.

Is there a way to find out that alpha-exe.xmltv.org has been updated
without downloading it?

Hi Robert,

quite honestly I don't feel in the same league as those like yourself who
write and maintain the grabbers. The only useful function that I perform is
to translate the various mails to the XMLTV and FreeGuide development
groups into something that non PERL and Java programmers like myself can
understand. What most people seem to want to know is, what can be received
with which grabber, and what can they do to satisfy their own
requirements.
For example my question about the Belgian grabber which has existed for
ages but is as far as I can see, not very useful in GUI mode as it doesn't
have any scroll bars so that you can't say YES to the "all" option.
Selecting programs one by one is not an option as you have to know the
channel names in advance. I think this is not unimportant as this grabber
covers half of Europe.
If you have any suggestions as to what I could contribute to the Wiki, do
let me know, but in any case you are always welcome to take or use anything
from site and use it in any way that you wish. As a matter of information,
the site is currently getting about 1200 page hits per month from all over
the world, (I was rather perturbed to get a visit from MICROSOFT Redmond
yesterday !!) So your software has many admirers.

Richard

Richard, 

Have you considered contributing to the XMLTV wiki to help improve the
situation?

It was for exactly this reason that I started my website for XMLTV and
FreeGuide WINDOWS users. I found it frustrating that the available info,
although readily available, was so fragmented. I always post a version of
both FreeGuide and XMLTV including channel ids.

hope this helps,
