Free daily tv listings :)

Heya

Thought I'd share with you this site I found (I'm a student and too tight to pay for the telly times...and I don't get a paper as I read the BBC news website for my news!) for tv listings. It usually has one pop up so block that/delete it!

https://www.onthebox.com

It's a lot clearer than the other sites available and it has all the listings for bbc1 bbc2 itv channel 4 and channel 5 ...
Enough for the non digital/NTLd/Cabled amongst us :)

Hope that helps someone out (if it does, do press the thanks button)

    https://www.tvgenius.co.uk is a Steve Wright in the Afternoon website of the day

    it's very good and also acts as a search engine

    i.e. if you want to know when maybe Robson Greene is on telly again just put his name into the search
    I haven't got one!

    The best TV guide I have found is digiguide.

    It is a available for a one month FREE trial at digiguide.com, then after that you can sign up for £8.99 p/year, However when I downloaded the free trial, I got the email offering 18 months instead of 12 if I joined during the free period.

    Would recommend everyone looking for a GREAT guide try this first - (no card/bank details required to sign up, only your email address.

    If its not for you then use the other free ones.- no need to cancel

    This is available at https://www.digiguide.com

    Ausweb your not allowed to post link to referral forums here.

    From the rules

    REFERRAL POSTS

    Posts from which site users gain are permitted only on the Referrers Board. This includes links to rpoints etc threads. Any posted elsewhere will be moved to the Referrers Board. Links to the referrals board from the main forums are not allowed.

    This also includes members saying "Please PM me for code" or "check my post on referrers". The overriding rule is that no advertising is allowed on the main forums.

    I have reported this to abuse in case you dont come back

    apologies

    Didn't realise I had done it incorrectly (I did read the rules but obviously missed that bit), have deleted the link and also cancelled my post in the referrers board

    I still believe that this is the best TV listing guide on the web.- Its still free (if only for one month) - and a bargain if you get the 18 months - Accurate TV guide, all channels, exceptional search facility only 50p / mth


    sorry

    I am sure you didnt know, the rules only recently changed. For what its worth I use to use digiguide a few years back and yes it is good program, just dont want tv enough tbh to warrant using it, so use the free ones. Its worth trying if seeing as its free for 30 days.

    Thanks for editing post :)

    Ok this post isn't completely off-thread :-P

    I saw the end of a film on the satellite Dove Vision channel when I was in a hotel (no not that kind of hotel film!). It was around 11pm on Monday night and I'm trying to find out what it was.

    The only link above that lets you look at TV guides OLDER than the current day is RadioTimes, so I signed up thinking it MUST be included in it's boast of 350 channels but alas...

    So if anyone does have a TV guide they know of that includes this channel I would appreciate the details please :-)

    Thanks in advance.
