looking good, jslawler. apologies to all for jumping in too early regarding insignificant gui details - no point at this stage, given that there's still lots to be done behind the scenes.
cheers,

you can use the grabber and point it to a list that specifies the channels you want to "grab". that is simple to build and should be easy to display/edit via the gui. it could basically be a derivative of the notepad script that already exists. but, of course, it would be better in c++ :d

just thought i'd mention this for those that had not seen it...
i've been running a nice python script called tvguide.v0.4
i run xmltv grabber on my home automation pc and publish it via a web site and the xbox uses it off the web site. it works very well and does a great job maximizing screen real estate.
i highly suggest checking it out if only to get ideas.
one cool thing is that it would be fairly easy to color code the grid (sports, movies, series, etc) using this script since, i think, the grid boxes are dynamically created.

sweet... this keeps getting better!
i know this is premature but i'm hoping to maybe plant the seed early...
can you build in hooks so someone would be able to duplicate the tvguide via the xbmc web server?
i'd love to see the grid displayed over the web server, basically use it as a tvguide remote control and have it send http commands to my home automation system, thus the ha system gets the http and sends ir to my tv to change the channel.
this would be amazing!

jslawler & los93sol,
my suggestion...
create a new screen in the settings area called "task manager". think of it like a windows task manager + scheduler. this would be a place to see the running processes and create a schedule to start tasks at a specified time and set triggers based on other processes/tasks starting/stopping. these are what i like to call "events".
what do you think?
