Hi All,
Thought id anounce my first tool since coming back to the scene - PVRDemoGen. This tool creates realistic EPG data based for use with the pvr demo client. I created it due to fact neither Blackbolt nor myself had any TV Tuner equipment and thus in order to start skinning the new PVR windows I needed to do something. You can see my original question here...

The tool is based around UK TV data and can do scrapes of channel data from FreeView, FreeSat, Sky & Virgin Media.
I plan to make the code and binaries public very soon but some last final bits I wish to do before.
If anyone can point me to what the <genretype> and <genresubtype> values equate to in the PVRDemoAddonSettings.xml I will try and map some real genres to the programmes.
Currently the tool is written in C# (Visual Studio 2012) but if any one wants a Mac port let me know.
Additionally if anyone can think of a decent name other than PVRDemoGen id be greatful
And now for some screenshots...
