Curday.dat Data Format

[AriX]

I just found this, but apparently TCI Cablevision of Tulsa got the yellow grid in November 1999:

This says it was the first cable system to receive the upgrade... In other news, water is wet and the Pope is Catholic.

Also, one of the screen shots in this:

...mentions the date 1 June 2000.

Interesting finds. And I love the Prevue Throwback logos.

woddfellow2, here is my revised edition of the curday.dat file, I tried to re-edit again with the correct schedule. Please re-take this image. If it is wrong, please answer it to me.

woddfellow2, here is my partial curday.dat listing on a cable company. I decided to put real schedule from Wikipedia and from my TV Guide magazine. Please take an image from channel 5 to 7 and from channel 2 to 4, take the summaries image correctly and please make a 3 minute video of the looping listings in .mp4 (video) and .ogg format. Thanks

Thank, woddfellow2.

Anyway, I found one of the Sports summaries there on the guide. It' says "Sports for (channel name) channel (channel number)" in this picture.

I can remember in that video in 1995 posted by joseph_sobora (swbrwnskins) in the end of the listings that said "Sports Summary for (channel name) channel (channel number)"

It could be on the XX.1 (or 17).5.0.0. code there that shows Sports summaries.

AriX or anyone in the forum, are you sure in 1998, "Sports Summary for" became "Sports on" because of the 1998 Prevue revamp or the 1999 TVGC?

[woddfellow2]

I noticed that aswell, and found it interesting... o_O

I think it probably changed circa 1996, when "Summary of %s on channel %d" (channel display name, channel display number) became "Summary of %s channel %d" (channel display name, channel display number).

GOOD NEWS:

If your using Windows, I tried using curday.dat without the startup script that tin did. I use adfview and inserted it and it works in WinUAE. The thing is that I copied woddfellow2's curday.dat file from my Mac and I put it in Windows and I tried to attempt it and it works.

EDIT: There is a topic called "How to add curday.dat without any Amiga programs" here.
