I've installed the software and the list of shows appears ok. When I click on any show, the Updating Show Information appears but nothing is ever retrieved - even though it appears to be searching.

Also, when I click the check update button, I get an update error. It's almost as though the Internet connection is blocked but everything else works just fine (ie. links to the website etc). I just cant get it to work!

I've just updated to Lion.

    Hi 7th2nd,

    Are you using a proxy or firewall? Little Snitch maybe? You need to allow internet access to System Preferences and TVShows in order to let TVShows connect to the internet.

    Thankyou! I didn't realise I had to allow Internet access for System Prefs. I was just checking TV Shows Helper in Little Snitch. Problem solved!

    Thankyou so much. I'm looking forward to trying out TVShows properly!

    Thanks again and Happy New Year.

    Same problem as Tarique Sani reported. "Updating Show Information" is taking too long. It doesn't seem to be working. I am not running any firewall also.

    Tarique, can you try again now? We had a problem that caused feeds to not load, it's been fixed now.

    If it's still stuck on that page, can you attach the log? It's in the About tab -> View logs.
