but when it says 'watch online' - does that mean it's only going to help me track shows that are freely pirated online? I just want to get an email when Game of Thrones starts again for instance, or Dr Who: how will that work? I don't want to watch them on the web even.

With the setup I have, Game of Thrones will just appear in a list in one of my iPad apps.

As it is, Colbert Report and Daily Show just appear for me.

I don't have cable, so I will be watching it at a friends house. I just need an email telling me it will be on soon so I can invite myself over ahead of time ;)
I was thinking of writing an iPad app that does a "synced" viewing of a video for two geographically separated people. The movies would play at very close to the same time, and pausing one app would pause the other. It would be for people in long distance relationships.
Yes, it will email you if you tell it to do so- It can also hook into google reader and any calendar app.
Thats all it will do right now. It doesnt do anything with sending links unless we have free links to hulu/netflix/etc..
