Hi Guys. Let's set a few things straight.

Firstly, we would have loved to keep developing WorldTV, but the source for the feeds was unreliable at best. IceTV have actually saved this product. We should be thanking them. Now for the most important point...

THE ICETV WIDGET >>IS<< FREE! You DON'T need to be an IceTV subscriber to use it. And you don't need to pay a cent.

All WorldTV features, plus a few new ones (like full program descriptions) are FREE... with 2 exceptions. Skins and pay TV. Skins might come soon, and pay TV isn't available from Ice, so it was never going to happen.

So, here's what you get...

FREE = 1 day of guide data (same as WorldTV), full program descriptions, and REALLY stable feeds. I can't stress that enough. The feeds are coming from a company that specialises in the TV guide data, and they care about this widget functioning properly. *IF* there is an issue, then it will be fixed very fast. It's unlikely that there will be issues though. You do need to register to use the widget now, but that's only so that Ice can make sure their server is protected from denial of service type attacks from a single user. It's a very small form to fill in.

$3 a week gets you features that WorldTV never had, like 7 days of guide data and EyeTV integration. The 7 days of guide would have never happened without Ice, because we never had it available to us. The idea ISN'T that you pay $3 a week for a widget, the idea is that if you're an IceTV subscriber, then you can use ALL of their services, including the widget. For a free 14 day trial of IceTV's services, please visit their site (www.icetv.com.au).

Thanks,
The iSlayer team.
