This is a self updating TV Schedule!

Well... it changes the listing depending on what day of the week it is, but you still have to hard code the show info into the script. ...still it’s better than opening a spreadsheet to check what’s on.

You will notice I have the show info aligned with spaces to make it easier to read and edit, this is possible because I am also using ${goto x} to line up everything in conky.

NOTE: The numbers in parenthesis are the premier dates of that show... I included it so I would know. :D
