Now there is something I always ask myself, is there anything worth watching on TV tonight? Probably not but I can never remember what night the Apprentice is on or when…
My quest to find a decent application or website for TV listings has been going on for a while now… But I think I’ve finally found something I like!
Yeah, the Radio Times website is okay but it loves pop-ups, which everyone else hates. I find it quite clunky.
Available from Sourceforge, for Windows and Linux it’s a pretty neat piece of software that’ll has an annoying manual method of selecting channels which took me ages. It also takes ages to download updates from wherever their TV listings are sourced. It’s a good idea but no offence, it’s ugly.
If it’s only terrestrial listings you’re after, you might as well just look at TVEasy in the morning and be done with it.
If it’s only a few select shows you want to know about, including ones from America. This one is good because you can filter by show rather than channel but not everything is on there. It tends to be only popular shows, Lost, 24 etc..
But the winner, for me at least, has got to be…
It’s simple and looks pretty good, shows are colour coded by genre and best of all you can select what TV package you’ve got (Virgin in my case) and it’ll display all your channels so you don’t have to go through and manually select them all. Hovering over a show gives a bit of information about it.. You can extend the grid to show up to 9 hours of TV all on the same page and you can check out what’s on up to a week in the future.
