By Paul Rogers, San Jose Mercury News, Calif.  Sep. 15--Summer is nearly over and you feel like you haven't been outside enough. Too many hours at work. Too much TV.

Perl script that automatically searches for new episodes of your favorite TV shows and downloads the corresponding NZB files from various free sources on the internet.   This release is mostly just to update the .shows file and the README.  I was sleepy, and I stupidly said that you do not have to have the  element in your shows file.  Turns out I'm just an idiot, and you do.  I have updated the .shows file to include the proper template for most shows, which is %name%.S%season%E%episode%  Sorry about that!  I also started a code optimization run which will hopefully over time make things run faster and more efficiently.  I just picked off the low hanging fruit on this release, because I wanted to get the updated README out before too many people had problems.

Although the world seems more out of control than ever, it&#39;s reassuring to know one thing has retained its original essence: the soul-sucking, creativity-crushing, black hole of brain cells we call TV programming.

By Danny Hooley, The News & Observer, Raleigh, N.C.  Sep. 17--Network television has tried just about everything under the sun to hang on to the mass audience it enjoyed in the pre-cable glory days. Franchising its hits to death. An overdose of reality shows. Voodoo.

I have good news, bad news, and worse news.  The good news is that I managed to get MythTV working well enough that it now plays standard definition channels better than the cable box alone, even though it's getting its signal from the cable output of the cable box.  I get this benefit because MythTV allows me to tweak various parameters that you can't change on the cable box.   The bad news is that high definition channels still look worse through MythTV than they do if I watch then directly from the cable box.  I don't expect to solve this problem. The cable box may be able to handle HDTV itself, but it outputs a digital signal in 480p, which is basically standard definition. The fact that I have two HDTV-capable tuner cards does me little good.  Here's the worse news. I had to learn way too much to get this far.

The temptation is overwhelming. Go ahead, admit it. You&#39;re fighting it as you read this. You are thinking this series is over.

If dreams could come true... Industry comment Even 10 seconds of the ridiculously over-valued X-Factor and American Idol make me want to vomit. They are so frighteningly mediocre, vacuous, and repetitive that I invariably find myself staring into a worrying abyss of creative bankruptcy that's pumped into millions of people's homes every night through their TV screen. On the side of the road gossip magazines are flourishing, all with the same look, formula, and material.â¦

There were times when I despaired. The screaming point came at the Edinburgh Festival, where successive performances of Plleas et Mlisande , Il trovatore (both emanating from Hanover State Opera) and Orfeo ed ...
