So it looks like England & Wales won’t be going to Euro 2008 after all…
But it’s not all bad news: The Tube users in the UK who update to version 1.5.5. should see better results from their channel searches. And as for all you other The Tube users, who’s team is actually going to the European Cup, you can also enjoy some other improvements included in this version. The current recordings are now displayed properly in the EPG list, the update mechanism for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) has been improved and OSD control has been revised to avoid the annoying “bouncing OSD” effect. You can download the new version here.

World peace and bug-free software – we decided to take up the second challenge.
The Tube 1.5.2 comes with a vastly improved crash reporter, so we know exactly how, and why The Tube misbehaved on your Mac. We also compile the crash reports more efficiently, which makes them much easier to read (for our developers, that is, the reports are still no replacement for your favorite bedtime story).
While we are quite sure that The Tube plays nice - if it does quit unexpectedly, we’ll know what’s going on. Please try for yourself and update to The Tube 1.5.2. The update is available right within your favorite TV application.

After a successful 4 week public beta, The Tube 1.5. is ready. Thanks to your great feedback and suggestions we’ve made a few additional improvements and now all registered users can enjoy scheduled recordings and a free electronic program guide with The Tube.
We’ve also added a few new features to this release version that weren’t available in the public beta:
- TV Tip:
Users can now also send other users of The Tube a ‘TV Tip’. TV Tips can be sent from a currently running show, the EPG or the timed recordings schedule.
- Extended Applescript support:
You can now access the scheduled recording features of The Tube via Applescript, making it even easier to add The Tube support to your own applications and widgets.
- Visual scheduling feedback:
The Tube will now subtly indicate which programs can’t be scheduled for recording, if they conflict with a recording scheduled earlier.
- Support for custom EPGs in the XMLTV format:
The Tube 1.5 will display all available EPG data from the DVB-T data-stream in a convenient list view and can also display details about individual shows. Users who would like to find pictures or further information about a show can start a Google search from the context menu. The EPG data received via DVB-T can be supplemented or replaced by user-specified EPG data in XMLTV format.
You will be automatically prompted to update to the release version of The Tube 1.5 the next time you start the application. This update is free to all registered users of The Tube.

While you’re perhaps waiting for the iPhone in Europe, you don’t have to worry about your videos. Starting today, all recordings from The Tube can be exported to your iPhone.
You just have to decide which of your recorded shows you want to see on-the-go, and the Tube will do the rest. The Tube 1.1.2 uses AltiVec for de-interlacing, which helps improve the picture for users with G4 and G5 Macs. It also increases stability on the G4 and G5 Macs, making the program overall more reliable. And last but not least: If you’re using AppleScript to program recordings, you’ll be happy with our improved support for AppleScript! The Tube 1.1.2 is free for every TubeStick customer. Make sure to get your copy today!

After three days at WWDC every developer can spell i-p-h-o-n-e forwards and backwards. Apple is heavily promoting development for its upcoming cell phone and wants every developer to polish up on their Web 2.0 skills in order to build something for the iPhone. Maybe the guys in Cupertino are just a little bit nervous about their first step into the world of mobile communications? Anyhow we’re enjoying the conference and ourselves as you can see in our latest pictures.

WWDC is ready to start: Just one hour left until Steve enters the stage. But you have to be patient if you don’t have a VIP- or press badge. Small talk between two Apple employees: “Where do you carry all the guys?” “We are creating loops throughout the building”.

Same procedure as every year: equinux joins Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco. In only a few hours Steve Jobs will open WWDC 2007 with his well known keynote. equinux’ developers already arrived and secured their tickets after taking a breakfast. But the main question on first day was: Is 9 am too late for breakfast when you actually woke up at 5 am?

The next stop for equinux’ trend scouters is Taipeh’s Computex, the world’s second largest fair for computer electronics and information technology. It’s fairly unusual to come across cheap knockoffs and even more unusual to see a producer presenting the original right beside the copy. BaLaTV is one knockoff that unmistakably has Apple TV as an archetype. Funny enough… its producer calls itself Macpower. According to the staff at its booth, BaLaTV is just a prototype and is the successor of D7-3500. And it doesn’t take too much to find the inspiration for that machine, either.
