Web Page With Links To All Foxtel PDF Guides

[starrenburg]

I have put this together:

http://members.iinet.net.au/~starrenburg/foxtel/foxtel_links.htm

I'll take it down when someone else has something better working.

Alternately, if anyone wants the HTML files and pics I can send them to you for improvement and/or placing on a better server.

.....I just hope Foxtel don't get rid of the PDF files now that we know about them.

Even better, I would hope (aren't I naive) that they might actually distribute the PDF files themselves in a better way and/or a printed format.
Will leave it up for the momenent and I'll take it down when someone gets something better working.

Once again, top notch work. It will be interesting to see when they post the June guides.

[Hammer]

Good work mate. Thanks for putting this up.

Very useful.

Don't try enhancing it, the page works well just as it is.

i don't understand ... foxtel *ADVERTISE* that they have program guides
available online on their website (watch the digital information channel). i
see no need to go to this trouble.

cheers, Wiz!!

apologies to starrenburg ... i read an earlier reply and realise now that
the foxtel page doesn't list all the channels.

keep up the good work!

cheers, Wiz!!

The web page

http://members.iinet.net.au/~starrenburg/foxtel/foxtel_links.htm

has about 70 files involved (the HTML code and also the 60+ thumbnails for each channel). I can't post them all here. If anyone wants them, send me a PM or email and I can send all of the files as a single ZIP attachment.

Just a thought everyone.....doesn't it just boggle the mind that a guy like
Starrenburg who gets no financial gain out of all the work he's done for us
here, can produce something so useful for us.....and yet those bastards down
at Moore Park who happily suck the money out of our credit cards each month
couldn't even be bothered providing all this detail on their web site, even
after they'd wiped all the digital customers from receiving a listings
guide.......Kim Williams....you're a complete dickhead

Just wait until Foxtel ask him to remove their banner.

[starrenburg]

Craig et al,

I'll remove the Foxtel banner if they wish and, if they ask, I'll also remove the jpegs for each of the channels.

The rest, the active links to their pages, are public property.

My real concerns are:

1. will they maintain the updated PDF files and links?
2. why don't they do this themselves?
3. Why not include this detail in the monthly digital mag?

Interesting.....

June PDF files just went up...but there are all (the ones I checked) blank other than the headers.


Edit.....Correction.

Flipped over to midnight. Content there. Download to your heart's desire!

[sclozza]

I wrote a batch file that renames the 3 letter codes into something more
human readable. If it is wanted, I can post it here.

web page updated....

http://members.iinet.net.au/~starrenburg/foxtel/foxtel_links.htm

[smt]

Thanks for the web page!

The link to the PDF for National Geographic is not complete and NG is
missing in the alphabetical listing...

I am using ClickBook (http://www.bluesquirrel.com/clickbook/index.html)
to produce B5 size booklets by printing first all first pages of the PDF
files then the second pages and so on; this creates a booklet for each
week.

I know about the National Geographic issue.

There is no PDF file for it.

If you change the PDF extension to NGE.PDF you get a "corrupt file" message.

Anyone finding the site useful?

Spoke to a CSO Supervisor and Senior Supervisor at Foxtel.

Neither had any idea that the full range of PDF Guides even existed.

[ibe6ube9]

honestly, its nice to have PDF guides, but whats the point....all what u get is just time and name of the program, no description what so ever. Is the foxtel analogue program magazine such a crap as well?
