TV2iCal is a collection of scripts to schedule recordings in iTele with the help of iCal and TV-Browser. It was developed to make use of the great iCal interface for managing scheduled recordings. It goes beyond what iTeleRecord does.

The iCal-iTele integration can also be used without TV-Browser. Just try importing your existing scheduled recordings from iTele, modify them, add new ones and write them back.

Warning: The iCal2iTele script replaces all iTele recordings. Be sure to use iTele2iCal first if you have used iTele itself to schedule recordings perviously.

What's New:
iCal2iTele and iTele2iCal
on Mac OS X 10.4 Late Night Software’s Property List Tools is no longer required
code unification and cleanup; may have fixed some bugs
completely rewritten corrections for recurring events
iCal2iTele now checks if iTele is running or recording and (optionally) starts iTele after exporting is complete
iTele2iCal now imports start and end dates that were saved incorrectly by iTele

TVB2iCal
compatible with TV-Browser 2
documentation updated accordingly (see below)
code unification and cleanup
bug fixes
rename iTele Recordings via iCal lookup
this new tool takes iTele recordings, looks for each event in iCal and renames the file accordingly
it’s a bit smart about errors but not very much so :)
iTele’s Recording Names need to be set up correctly for this (see below).
