| Posted: | | | | I love having TCM or AMC channel on in the background ( besides CNN), when I am in the home office here working on my PC ( and of course my beloved DVD PROFILER)., . Which leads me to this question of the day: When a movie (in its unedited form) is played on cable or satellite TV , (of which you own in your database),, do you consider that warrants a 'watched by' and on what date so you can monitor just how many times you do see a particular film ???
For me it's a Big Yes.. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| Posted: | | | | For detailed tracking including TV, I use a MS Access database with an hierarchical Watched model. The image below shows the last toplevel entries: The red ones are TV, the blue ones are TV series on DVD, the white ones are Movie DVDs. The DVD stuff is integrated with DVD Profiler, the TV-only stuff is not. | | | Matthias |

I 'only' have free-TV and I'd rather gnaw off my left hand than watching a movie I own on DVD in perfect form dubbed, edited and with commercials. cya, Mithi | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| Posted: | | | | If you read my post I did say.. " When a movie (in its unedited form) is played on cable or satellite TV , (of which you own in your database),, do you consider that warrants a 'watched by' and on what date so you can monitor just how many times you do see a particular film ??? " Like....,,,, Two Weeks ago TCM ran the 1933 version of King King,, and wouldn't you know it, the unedited commercial free version even had the opening Overture before the credits ran.., ( now when do you see that on commercial TV ??) I watched most of it with my 5 year old granddaughter, as I wanted to introduce the 'Beauty and the Beast' moral to her, and also I enjoyed her excitement of the monsters etc.., ( reminded me when I was that age)..,, Bottom line,, when it was over,, I had to mark my 'Watched By' so in the coming Year I'll know whether to bring that DVD out again so soon or wait an extra year.. ( Unless TCM runs it again..) | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.
