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 Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£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

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

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

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

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.

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.

the-cable-guy · 13-05-2008, 23:03

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

Whicker · 13-05-2008, 23:08

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

the-cable-guy · 13-05-2008, 23:13

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 ?

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!
