Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

Since the V+ EPG is pants

Anyone know a free, online TV guide, that can show programming in order of time (not channel order)

so i can see what's on right now! - don't really care what channel it's on since V+ does come with a handy gadget called a channel changer

Seems like quite a humble request but neither BBC or TV Genius offer it

At £9.99 a year digiguide is not free

http://www.digiguide.com/

but imo well worth less than a quid a month & you can customise the display to show the programming as you want - they do a 30 day free trial, if you want to have a look :)

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

http://www.tvguide.co.uk It's free, I used to use it until I got Vista with Media Center. :)

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

There is always the Virgin one. Even lets you choose which package to view listings for :erm:

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

freeguide works quite well once its setup with the channels your interested in.

There's always Radio Times. Use Grid View, you can even select which channels and which order the appear in.

unfortunately none show programming in order of time (not channel order)

8:00 Coro ITV
8:00 Billy Wiz Sci-fi
8:10 Earthquake Discovery
8:15 Law & Order Hallmark

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

Digiguide almost does in it's Now and Next view.

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

iv been after one for ages that lists every channel that we get on VM &/or Sky, its annoying to have to look on overseas websites for listings for DW-TV for example.

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

I'd like a list of all the Virgin Channels available and their programme codes (bbc1 = 101) for XL customers. Anyone know where I could find them?

The list given above for Virgins didn't list their numbers, so far as I could see.

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

i dont know of anyone that does that. some tv mags do but they only list a few channels.

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

There's certainly nothing in the Radio Times about any BBC HD channel, so where am I supposed to find out about that?

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

What Satellite & Digital TV doesnt have listings for BBC HD either i just checked.

btw does V+'s EPG give seven day listings or is it the same as the standard EPG in that respect ?

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

It really should not be beyond the wit of VM to post a list of all their programmes available for programmes online.

It's not enough, though, they should have some sort of equivalent of Radio Times.

If only I'd copyrighted that!

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

i agree VM should sort it out, however with magazines its printed & more pages means more money in the cost of printing.

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

Quite. And whilst I understand the costs in that (environmentally, too), they could at least post them up online.

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

true VM could well do it, but magazines on the other hand i doubt it cuz then they'd loose customers if you could find the info on their website.

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

Send me to that website, cable, please. What website will give me a list of all the Virgin programmes I can access and their programme numbers. Apparently I'm an XL customer, if that helps you in finding it.

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

there aint one (that i know of) i was saying that we need one.

i just found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...s_on_Virgin_TV

theres Sky Magazine & even the short lived British Satellite Broadcasting had one but VM dont. hmm :mad:

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

Thanks for that link, cable. It's a start!

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

yeah its better then nowt, if you click a channel it will tell you some of the programs that they air. its not a tv guide but it gives you a ruff idea if you didnt already know ;)

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

I'm sure some able-connected person here could make a fortune by providing this online and even more if they were to do it in print. the inprint could be a problem, as it'd be like a book each week.

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

TV Guide which is available in America lists almost (if not) every channel & while its not the largest magazine it sure is thick lol

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

My lolling hours are over, thank you for your help. Goodnight and good dreams, cable young guy!

Re: Anyone know a free, online TV guide?
 

lol sleep tight fella :o:
