I've written few scripts to convert tv guides we have on our tv guides page to xml files that can be viewed by rss reader plugin.
You can see in attached screenshots what it looks like.

View attachment 4474 View attachment 4469 View attachment 4470 View attachment 4471

Tv guides available at the moment are:
Sky Uk
Sky Italia
Hungary
Germany
Portugal
Dutch
France
Scandinavia
Ex-Yu
Premiere(prem1-4,prem.sport,direkt,blue moives-detailed guide)
Nova Greece(filmnet1-3,supersport1-3)
Tv1000 viasat

I attached a tarball which can be used on gemini images for manual addon install. As for other images you can decompress tarball and just copy var folder to your var on dreambox, all files should be in place.
Thx to xmltv project as source of information for some tv guides.
And thx to draker and drl for helping me out on linux scripting.
You can check this thread for updates on feeds.

Latest version of feeds file can be found here:

Here is an update.

Added:

Showtime Network
Orbit

Thx to Pattyren for helping me out on these.
And thx to startimes.com as a source of information.

You can just overwrite feeds.xml file in /var/tuxbox/config/rss if you already have rss reader installed. I just included gemini tarball so it is easier to install for those who don't already have it.

Hi, Great Plugin, but I tried it this morning and Saturday listings are still showing. Can you tell me how the listings are updated and is there a chance to have have multiple days.

Anyway great work, this plugin is just what we dreamers need.

Listings are updated around 10am, I hope that is early enough :)
And there is an option of adding multiple days, at least for those guides for which the source is xmltv tool. But they would then load much slower. I'd rather leave daily guides.
And I just wanna clear something. This is old rss reader plugin who was done by I don't know who. We are providing tv guides for it. It can be used to read other kind of rss feeds. Like daily news or something.

Are you talking about showtime and orbit guides ? I think that can be changed just tell me what time should be correct for Arabic channels.

EDIT: Orbit and Showtime are now set to GMT so everyone can adjust to that I hope.

How can i add other channel in this great plugin?

You can't really add any channels. You can only read what is available on our server. That was the point of this, to provide rss feeds for this plugin which aren't really used for this purpose. They are usually short previews of original content that lead you to full version.
Like in these examples:
http://www.sat-universe.com/forum245/daily-world-news.html
http://www.sat-universe.com/forum284/daily-sports-news.html

But you can suggest what you would like added and we can try providing it if it is possible, but to be honest I am not too keen on fulfilling requests, as there would be too many I imagine. But we could make a feed for individual channels which aren't listed already. Like MBC2 and MBC4 will probably go there first. They are fta and have good programming and most importantly they have listings on their site which we can use as a source.

mmm more like the xxx channels i like to have

Oh that :)
Some of xxx channels are already included in providers they belong to. I can't really tell much from movie titles in case of xxx channels :)
We have no intention of adding any special feed for xxx channels, at least not for now.

Ok Spain guide is completed, here is an update.
Gemini tarball and plain zip.
Again you can just overwrite feeds.xml file in /var/tuxbox/config/feeds.xml to get a new feed with Spanish tv guide.
