RssReader 0.4d is hereby released. RssReader is TiVo-resident software that displays the contents of an RSS feed on your television. More interestingly, RssReader can schedule recordings from syndication feeds containing RSSTV extensions. This means you can subscribe your TiVo to a community-evolved ToDo list, such as the feed generated by Program My TiVo!

The main addition in 0.4d is the ability to schedule recordings based on network call signs instead of channel numbers. This should give us a better shot at sharing program suggestions across cablesystems. In addition, RssReader now remembers schedule results from previous sweeps, so that the display reflects whether or not a recording attempt was successful on all sweeps since the last TCS restart (infrequent), instead of just the first time a new item shows up.
