I have been looking at the foxtel app for the iPad and it does full guide search, scheduling and channel selection through IP do you know if this would be availiable through a driver ?

In short, no.  The Foxtel app talks to a website, which in turn relays your command(s) via Satellite/RF to the IQ box.  At best you can add a program for recording.

I also suspect Foxtel would get angry if we started scaping the Guide from their website.

Thanks Matt

I knew there probably was a reason why you had not done it already ?? oh well worth a shot it would have been awesome if we could get all in one app.

Push controls has a great script that the customer can add there own favorite channels from a page showing all the Foxtel channels is this at all possible as it is a great tool for the customers and saves us a heap of time ?
