TV Guide for PPC?

Hey all,
I'm after a TV Guide, similar to digiguide, that will utilise my WM6 standard calendar to alert me of tv shows/films/etc that are on. I'd obviously sync it every night or whatever. I'm Great Britain-ish so am after a UK version.
If anybody knows of one, I'd be grateful if you could share.
Cheers in advance!
bump.. Anybody?
Hi if you have Vista Ultimate or Home Premium or XP Media Center you can use:

Alternatively you could purchase: http://digiguide.com/
Dont think they would work with the calander though, just over the net.
I just bookmarked the TV Guide website....
If you are willing to do a little "dirty work" you could prolly use Orb's tv guide... there's an xml api for doing a lot of things and one of them is obtaining the tv guide for your area. I don't know if they have access to UK guides, but why not install Orb and check?

that makes since. the also have a link at the bottom for Mobile for PPC and etc.
i use 2 apps that work really well. both free. the first is PocketTVGuide by Rob Williams which can get it's data over your phones data connection. the second is TV guide by Alex Egorov. if you set the first one not to delete it's downloaded xml you can use it for the second one.
They are both in a different layout but both are good.

cisco vpn

ok,
this is gonna be a little description and a question at once.
i've tried to get a cisco vpn client to run on the diamond. at first, i tried athenaVPN, which works really good, but it installs automatically a firewall-app next to the vpn client. this FW is started automatically at windows startup, no chance to get this off. after that, i tried to use bluefire vpn. it took a lot of time to get this running, but now it works, but it slows down the whole system. i don't appriciate this. so the question is...is there another simple cisco-vpn client out i've not seen before, because the other two applications have too many disadvantages. thanks a lot,
earp
I also would be interested in any cisco vpn solution, that works...
Did you guys ever find anything?
OpenVPN
If it interests anyone, I've used OpenVPN for a while, and it works great, at least on my KS20.
It's open source and it's not so difficult to install and configure, but admittedly it doesn't work with a Cisco VPN. As SFR in France blocks all ports but 80 and 8080, it allowed me to use MSN and other communication applications (too much lag for Skype) and access my shared files...
You can get it here
I've been looking into this too - we use Cisco AnyConnect VPN at work and it'd be nice to see whether it's available on the HTC.
I'd also be so happy if one of us can find a problemless vpn client. I hate logging in as a guest user everytime to my network.
I have tried Bluefire VPN with success. I had only .pcf file and here is not VPN client on PDA to use with. If you use group password, you have to ask your admin about cleartext password and then you can use VPN for example to your Cisco 3000 VPN concentrator.

OpenVPN-Server -> Cyanogen Mod

Hey Guys,
in germany we just connect (3G) behind T-Mobile NAT. I want to have a fix ip address with dyndns. Behind a NAT this is not possible. Can anybody help me to solve this problem.
is there a possibility to configure a openvpn-server on cyanogen. Have anybody already make this?
In the cyanogen mod 4.1.999 there were following programs: dropbear, openssl and openvpn or were these programs for client mode configuration?
I couldn't find anything for a server mode. I found a openvpn-monitor.apk which doensn't hava a function.
Thanks for help!
You can use dyndns.org to map your current IP to a domain. If your Router supports it, it can do this automatically. If not, you have to manually run an app.

No, only the client binaries are included. If you need a server version for your handset you will need to either compile it yourself or find someone who has done the work for you. But as far as I know there are no ROMs that include those server binaries (except for maybe a copy of sshd).

I guess the router doing the NAT is not located in his living room but in some server room operated by T-Mobile, so port forwarding or something like that is not an option.
I have the same problem at the moment, T-Mobile assigns me a private IP like 10.0.3.21 which cannot be accessed from the internet even with DynDNS or something like that.
If I come to a conlusion that to try to make my SSH accessible from the internet, I will post it, of course.
Hello,
thanks for reply! But i dont wont access my g1 over a home network. When i want to do this, i connect via telnet or something else. Because my router give me a static IP or a static DHCP IP.
I want to access to my g1 over umts (mobile). I have tried to access my g1 with an dyndns app in the market. In the descriptions of the app was a info that says, in germany with t-mobile contract it doesn´t works.
Have anybode compiled a openvpn-server app?
Thanks!
openvpn has just one program for its peer-to-peer, client, and server modes. There is no separate server.

Is there no way to make CC work through a proxy server?

Hi folks,
Our school features HD-beamers in every classroom, so chromecasts would be ideal for the teachers to present their stuff on a large screen.
That said our school is connected to the internet via a proxy-server, which offers content-protection.
I cannot touch the proxy-servers configuration so i would really need a way to make chromecast work through a proxy.
I managed to use my android-phone with the proxy via sandroproxy.
I am not a programmer and do not know about the problems in detail but from a general perspective it shouldn't be too difficult for the chromecast to direct all internet-connections through a certain server and port is it?
Would be glad if someone came up with a solution.

Chromecast is difficult because there is very little you can configure, and unlike your phone you can't sideload - or load apps in general.
Instead of doing it on a per-device basis, it might be easier to see if the WiFi access point or router can be made to go through the proxy, similar to how some routers can be made to connect to a VPN, etc.
I would think that all the setup needed would already be done for you on the AP side of things.
(if done correctly) You shouldn't need to configure anything it should all be setup to use the proxy on any connection.
Most proxies are set to only deny certain sites not all except...
Do you have to enter proxy information in your browser manually to get onto the net? If so or if IT comes in to setup your computer before you can browse with it the first time, then it's probably not set up automatically.
If you explain to your IT Dept what it is your trying to do I am willing to bet they can make an exception for the MAC Addy of the CCast.
