This TAP is a replacement Reservations / Timers display for TMS machines.
It is based on the AutoScheduler TMS code, and shares a look and feel. It is intended to integrate the two at some point, but it was felt this would be a useful TAP by itself.
In use, it simply displays all the timers, but it is able to sort them by time, name and service, and to filter them to show all, record only, or play/watch only. It also improves on the default reservation listing by giving you one key access to the timer list, and by showing files with the program names always (the default reservation list often shows timers with service names instead).
It defaults to activation by the Recall key (looks like a curved arrow), but this can be reconfigured. It is also fully integrated into TMSCommander, allowing TMSCommander to both activate and stop it.
It will also delete timers, manually create new ones, edit existing ones, and export and import them.
Another useful feature is the ability to turn on a feature which auto-fixes timer names to make the resulting recording files PC friendly - eg strips * : / etc from the names.

v2.05 15 July 2010:
- Added German and Finnish keyboards for our European friends
- Time on top of each screen is now 12 hour if 12 hour mode set (but still 24 hour in edit screen)
- Add ability to export, import and delete all timers. Can export, do a factory reset, then import and all the timers will be there. If you are brave you could attempt to manually edit the timer file (tab delimited text)

v2.04 13 July 2010:
- Added display of time in 12 hour mode (but not edit).
- Added the ability to change the name of Play only timers so you can remember why you set them.
- Years are now shown YY not CCYY to save space.
- Keyboard now reflects shift mode when in sentence case (i.e. it changes Caps and lower as required.) Shift will change case for one keypress and is reflected in the keyboard shown.
v2.03 10 July 2010: Bugfix of v2.02 - fixes keyboard window floating on display after tap exit
v2.02 9 July 2010:
- Adds the ability to display logos for services (see notes below)
- Services can now be scrolled within the timer edit window without going to the extra selection screen
- Additional help icons and text
- Added support for TMS Commander 1.0 and higher UserEvent control - directly activates the Config Menu
v2.01 7 July 2010: Minor bug fixes
v2.00 6 July 2010: Major update
- Adds the ability to create new timers and edit existing ones.
- Can now be called from within the File List (user configurable key)

v1.03 1 July 2010:
- Fixed bug where not correctly recognising the TRF7160.
- Minor cleanups to screens
- Added passthrough of Mute button - can now mute and unmute while tap is up
- Added the ability to call the TAP up from within the Topfield Guide - key to do this can be configured. Default is recall.
v1.02 26 June 2010: Added auto-select first line of the timer list, recognition of SRP-2100 and SRP-2400 models, more keys as choices for the activation key, RED now saves the configuration as well as Record, SBS EPG Character fix.
Notes: The SBS EPG Character fix will scan all timers everytime the timer screen is displayed, and if it finds a timer with an unprintable character in the first position of the name (which is common on SBS shows in Australia), it will automatically remove this character and fix the timer name. If you leave this option set to OFF, a small red # will be displayed for timers with this bad character, but the timer will not be touched.
v1.01 20 June 2010: Added option to show service number instead of logo/service name.
v1.00 12 June 2010: Initial Release
