Digiguide
I have just been reminded that my Digiguide subscription is almost due for renewal, which means I've been using it for a year already. Pem (Paul M) put me onto it and I have found it very useful. I urge you to trial it....it's rather good! (and at £8.99/yr not too pricey)

having been without net access at home, for a few days, I have to say digiguide is one of the things I missed the most. It has become second nature to click up what's on 'next', thoroughly recommended

Or go to www.five.tv, where the TV listings are powered by Digiguide and don't cost a penny (just register with an email addy other than the one you used to register for Digiguide, and the C5 listings will even let you build a custom channel line-up). The layout style and information supplied is direct from Digiguide.
It doesn't have a lot of the functionality of the full-on Digiguide, but as a quick reference tool, I find it excellent.
Sorry Paul ....

Re: Digiguide
I have used Digiguide for around 3 years and would be lost without it. I use Digiguide to search for programmes that I want to watch and then set them to record on my Sky+ system. Very easy to use with lots of features to help choose your programmes. You can set it up to show whatever channels you want in any order you want with your DTV suppliers channel numbers and apply colour coding to genres. Excellent search feature with all Sky Movies films up to the end of December being listed. If you have never used it, give it a try, you won't be disappointed. http://www.digiguide.com/

Comparing the Five TV Guide to Digiguide is like comparing a single page from a paper dictionary to a fully functional, customisable electronic dictionary.

Re: Digiguide
I use the new Radio Times site.
Its got a grid which you can add specific channels to, and you can set reminders for 'Your Programmes'. The thing I like is that its not just Programme 1, you can set it to remind you for Programme 1 on this date, on this channel, or when its on any channel.

Anyone feeling up for a programming challenge should also check out the XMLTV stuff at http://membled.com/work/apps/xmltv/

That's a superb site, BTW. I expect it'll be even better when I apply the Firefox adblock extension to it ...

The radio times site seems pretty much the same as the five.tv site - except it has tons more annoying adverts.

The layout is better - you can see more hours in one go. The navigation between times and dates is better too. I've bookmarked it.
