I thank you for the interest you show for this program, and I excuse myself for not working on it lately. It is because of lack of time.
A new version should appear by the end of this summer if I get the time to work on (ie finish it)
As for the kubuntu packages, I am not responsible for this package and I can not help you with it. Sorry
Yours

Well, not yet. In fact I decided that I need a better code to cope with all this different problems, and I begun some code re-write. Also I had some vacations, time off, work etc.
No rush taken, but I can not say when a new version will be ready. I will anyway send you a working version asap.

ktvschedule.cpp: In member function `void ktvschedule::init()':
ktvschedule.cpp:106: error: parse error before `+' token
ktvschedule.cpp:107: error: request for member `exists' in `d', which is of
non-aggregate type `QDir ()(...)'
ktvschedule.cpp:109: error: request for member `mkdir' in `d', which is of
non-aggregate type `QDir ()(...)'
ktvschedule.cpp:126: error: `KToolBar*QDir::TvToolBar' is not a static member
of `class QDir'
-----------------
It's probably a gcc (3.3.4) bug, because changing the offending section around line 106 to:
QString path = QDir::homeDirPath() + "/.kde/share/apps/ktvschedule";
QDir d( path );
if ( !d.exists() )
{
d.mkdir(path);
}
fixed the problem for me, so you may think about changing these lines, especially because the homeDirPath() function is not evaluated twice if the directory does not exist.

Yes, in fact it is a strange bug, since it compiles fine for me with 3.4.1 on my Mandriva.
But will implement your changes so that the program compiles on most platforms available.
Yours and thanks

How does it work? Am I right that it downloads all the info from the Internet and you can select the TV shows you want to see and put them into this calendar-like screen? Does it work for German channels?

At the channel selector, you can choose the channels which interest you, then you update the guide. It will update only for the channels you have selected and then they will be presented in the table.
Each 5 minutes it will check for new programs and notify you. More features comming later
Hope you like it

One thing: Shortcuts for actions usually juse Ctrl as a modifier, not Alt, so Alt-M shortcuts for Manage channels should be Ctrl-M, since Alt is normally only used for accessing Mnemonics (underlined letters).
But I am keen on seeing what will come next with kTvSchedule, it looks already promising. :)

The only Problem:
Only german channels, the Plugin to load zap2it Data (US-Channels) is beta and not well documented :(.
BUT:
It has a plugin Achitecture that allows to write a XMLTV-Plugin ;)

I had put an entry on my todolist to make interaction between kTvSchedule and Kalva (ktvapp) [1] possible (imagine the possibility to schedule recordings just via RMB from an entry in the EPG like with a freevo system). Have to admit that it is low on the prioritylist due to so many things more important at the mo', but I will stay tuned with Your app, hope I will find more time soon to get kTvSchedule up and running. From the hardcopys I find Your app very promising.
