TVShows 2.0b1 Released
(For more information please read the TVShows 2 Announcement post.)
The purpose of this beta is to replicate most if not all of TVShows 0.4.8’s existing features. This means that TVShows 2 is not yet feature complete and that several UI functions have been disabled until we are finished implementing them.
Please attempt to explore and exploit as many features as possible to make sure that the core functionality of Beta 1 works correctly. Whenever you run into a problem, are confused, or have a suggestion please feel free to use the new “Submit Feedback” button on the left or contact us on Twitter.
Update: TVShows 2.0b4 released here.

As per this: “The preset show list won’t open in 32bit mode. — Added 6/26″
…clicking the “Select a preset show….” button in 10.5.8 on MacMini PPC G4 (i.e. 32-bit) doesn’t work and/or crashes System Preferences..
Can’t wait until a working version 2 is out, TVShows is a fantastic piece of software, and the version 2 looks like it will be really awesome. Keep up the great work….
Thanks! We’re not sure exactly what’s causing the issue yet, but thankfully I can reproduce it on my Mac.
Hi Matt,
Do we have to uninstall TVShows 0.4.8 before installing the beta? Can they both work at the same time?
Thanks!
Nope, they’ll both work at the same time.
There is a problem with running in 32bit mode, but that’s not related to TVShows 0.4.8.
