What Dashboard is missing

by Chris Seibold Apr 30, 2005

Got around to buying Tiger today. I installed it without backing up (that note just to make back up maniacs out there cringe) and had no problems. It’s a pretty substantial update and my machines do feel snappier. So far dashboard is my favorite new feature but it’s missing a must have widget: TV listings. So if you know where I can score a TV listing widget drop me a line. Thanks.

Oh, and the new mail is uglier than my baby pictures (hard to believe but true)

  • I just installed Tiger yesterday, and I agree the TV listing widget would be awesome. 

    Also I cannot configure Mail to my hotmail account!  Someone please help me.  I need the “incoming mail server” name and it is driving me insane! (I have MSN premium or whatever it is called, the one where you pay $20 a year)

    email me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) if you can help

  • Don’t thank me. Thank the author ‘ebustaman’. I also know there are a few moew people working on TV listing widgets, so you may have a range to choose from soon.

  • moew? I meant ‘more’

    I guess Tiger doesn’t have auto-anti-dyslexia features.

  • Hey guys!

    I thank you all for supporting my widget, WhatsOn.  I too believe that Dashboard was missing this critical widget, so I took it upon myself to start building it.  WhatsOn is most definitely a work in progress and I’d like to take the moment to show you where WhatsOn is headed:

    A beta release (100% functional, but not completely polished) will be available before Monday.  BTW, I take user suggestions very seriously, so if you are looking for something that you think should be there, please contact me.  Thanks again guys!

  • How about adding support for EyeTV - similar to the old Watson program? Since it was sold to Sun, I sure do miss it.

  • I’d like a MovieFone type Widget that would save your favorite theatres so you could always check what’s playing and when.

  • That would be a nice widget Ezra. I suspect that ebustaman could whip that one up if he was inclined to. Maybe if we all ask real nice he’ll add it to his list.

    dashboardMovies gives instant access to movie listings through Dashboard.
