I presume that they will help a bit further ... but if not ...
a bit of digging around shows ...
http://ontv.nzoom.com/channel_schedule
is a way in - with a list of available channels ... encoded as ...
<option>Select Channel</option>
<option value="allchannels">All Channels</option>
<option
value="http://ontv.nzoom.com/channel_schedule/0,1591,Saturday--1,00.html";
>TV ONE</option><option
value="http://ontv.nzoom.com/channel_schedule/0,1591,Saturday--2,00.html";
>TV2</option><option
value="http://ontv.nzoom.com/channel_schedule/0,1591,Saturday--3,00.html";
>TV3</option><option
value="http://ontv.nzoom.com/channel_schedule/0,1591,Saturday--4,00.html";
>TV4</option><option
value="http://ontv.nzoom.com/channel_schedule/0,1591,Saturday--9,00.html";
>PRIME</option> </select>
This leads to a textual list of channel names ...
TV ONE
TV2
TV3
TV4
PRIME
If you replace all spaces with "_" (i.e. TV ONE becomes TV_ONE) then you can
plug it into the URL from below as the channelDesc parameter
http://knossos.tvnz.co.nz/xml/output_pigml/1,,channelDesc=tv_one&amount=14,0
0.xml
(case of channel name not important)
amount=nn is the number of days to grab starting from local midnight
"today".
and it looks like all date/times are local NZ.
No end time for shows.
TV4 appears to be a part-time channel - with no formal indication of off-air
times.
Can also use a slightly different syntax for the URL to specify exact start
date ...
http://knossos.tvnz.co.nz/xml/output_pigml/1,,channelDesc=tv_one&date=150720
03&amount=1&unit=days,00.xml
(can also have:
- unit=programmes for an "amount" of programmes
- startinghour=nn
I guess for their own What's on now/next function
