Where on the net can I find the codes for recording TV programmes, as published in the listings magazines? Bob Mawji
VideoPlus+ is the UK version of a system that originated in the US. It's owned by Gemstar-TV Guide International. As far as I know, the only TV guide that puts the codes online is the Radio Times, and you have to go to the individual programme listings to find them. There is also an unlicensed open source program that will generate codes for most programmes. However, it fails if the code would be longer than six digits.
Backchat: Billy Dods adds that "TV Guide UK has them for both terrestrial and satellite TV" (http://www.tvguideuk.co.uk/tvlistings/index-time.php).
