Widget wanted
When I had cable, my TiVo handily picked out the shows I wanted to watch, knowing when they would have new episodes.
Comcast jacked up my rates to $100/month, and I didn't want to pay that, so no more TiVo. Which is fine: there's nothing good on HBO any more, and I'll save lots of time not watching the NBA playoffs.
And look what I've learned! There are five or so shows that I watch, and they all put new episodes on the Internet. The problem is that they do it with weird schedules. Some post the same day; some wait a day or two; some wait two weeks. And I don't know when they're broadcasting new episodes. And they're all on different websites.
What I need is a TiVo-like Internet widget that I can tell it: fetch these shows, and then sends me an e-mail (or, better yet, a personalized RSS feed) telling me "The latest Simpsons episode is at Hulu." Anyone invent this gadget yet?
