Hi there,


I wrapped the current version of tvbrowser-protable into a .PND: http://www.tvbrowser.org/en.html


It requires Wizard Stan's Java.pnd: http://repo.openpand...detail&app=java


TV-Browser gets the daily TV program from the internet and shows it clearly aranged - like a printed TV guide. An internet connection is only necessary during the data update. Note: You can not use TV-Browser to watch TV.


It knows a lot of channels from Europe, USA and Australia.


Although marked as beta, I basically release it as-is. If you know Java and can optimize it, feel free to step in and do so! I know this is not ideal at all, but the only alternative for me would be to not release it at all ..


On first start it checks for an internet-connection and lets you set up you favourite channels and so on. Language of the menus can be changed afterwards in the preferences.


Known issues:


- it may (probably will) crash during first setup, or while doing "too many things" (like changing a lot of preferences). Just start it up again and continue.


Once set up, normal browsing of the TV data is pretty stable and you might even get away with running at 800MHz. Disabling some "fancy" features in the preferences may improve stability as well.


- first setup wizard window is too large, you can resize it or move it with the stylus while keeping left shoulder-button pressed


- same for the preferences-window


Changes for Pandora version:


included a default-settings file to:


- change initial size of main-window


- disable "personas" (fancy skins). It is not removed from the package, so you can activate it again (not recommended)


Grab it from the repo (if you're brave enough):
