    UK TV Guide widget type thing?

    Does anyone know of some software (freeware please), that you can use as a TV guide on your desktop.. but in the same style as Widgets? (such as Konfabulator).

    Can't really seem to find anything.

    Thanks

    Can someone explain what a widget is in these terms? I've been trying to learn and everything has been confusing thus far. Its to do with using RSS feeds to get data right?

    Also, whats Konfabulator? I use an Icon set related to that in my Samurize config, but for weather.

    Lastly, if anyone finds one for samurize let the world know, so I can add the thing

    EDIT: I just searched through every single internet info fetcher plugin hosted on samurize.com, there weren't any TV fetchers unless I missed it, which is pretty unlikely. Gonna keep looking on the site.

    EDIT 2: Widgets had nothing either, so I guess if theres aynthing its not hosted on site.

    I use FreeGuide TV http://freeguide-tv.sourceforge.net/

    Probably not as comprehensive as digiguide, although never used it, does what I want it too

    Again, its hardly a widget though, more of a seperate app.

    They are objects that you can get on your desktop, like the amount of memory your using, or the amount of up time, to do lists, calenders, etc etc.

    Download the trial of Konfabulator here: www.konfabulator.com
