I haven't loked through above yet but use tvguide and radiotimes.
I find the search on radio times better.
Wanted to ask though - is anone else frustrated that EPG does not state whether a programme is a repeat. Why can't they include the (R) that you see in paper guides ?
Is there a decent magazine you can get from the shops that has all the channels listed, as its bloody annoying having to pop the guide on all the time to find out whats on Talking Pictures Tv etc...

There does not appear to be any magazine which includes all the freeview entertainment channels.
Even the dearest and biggest, the Radio Times does not have them all, not even on its website.
I find Total TV Guide to be the best.
It does not have Talking Pictures but does have most of the others including the Horror channel, which is not listed on the Radio Times site and presumably not in their magazine.
There were a lot of complaints a couple of months ago when Total TV Guide was revamped and some channels were not included at the expense of more Sky programmes.
There was a thread all about it on this forum.
The company responded to this and included the missing channels after a few weeks.
The only problem with it now, is that there are no daily radio listings.

Just gone to the Radio Times website and it has both Horror and Talking Pictures listings for Freeview.
Only channels I can see missing are the +1s and the shopping channels.
They are both listed on that link. But that is probably because the Radio Times website drops a cookie on your machine to identify what channel selections you have made.
What you could do to check is...
Click on My Channels above the listings. Check the ITV/BBC local region settings then click the Set Channels tab. Ensure Freeview is selected as the provider. You should then see these channels listed. Though they might be unticked which is why you don't see them and I do.

Thanks.
All channels were ticked, but the set channels tab was set to "Popular Channels", not to Freeview.
I can see it now.
It's mentioned on P1 of this thread, but it's worth repeating. I've used Digiguide for Windows for over a decade now, and love it. Notifications of favourite programmes about to start, order your channels however you like, search by name, actor, director, keyword etc, add or delete channels from other than your normal service (for example I have NowTV as well as Freeview, so can see the Sky channels from that alongside the freeview channels).
The only downside is that it is now £15 a year (a £5 rise in ten years, which I guess isn't too bad).
Plus, I prefer the Windows version to the online 'premium' version.

I use this one too. This site is really good I can delete the channels I don't watch and just have a guide for the ones I do

I cannot see the Horror channel on this link
I even did a Ctrl F search with firefox on the page.

Did you have a different link?
