What's the best app for searching UK TV listings? ie typing something in and seeing when it is on rather than whats on now/next.

Something with Sky remote record would be good but not essential.

Thanks!

The Sky+ App - I only have Freeview and find it works well - you can even customised the favourites list to show you the channels you are interested in. You will also find that Remote Record works.

Can you search on the Sky+ App?

Last time I tried it (Iphone version) you couldn't do it.

yes you can search in the sky+ app.

There is also Record it, which I prefer. It also has the remote record facility.

I use a paid one called TV guide UK pro. It links in with your android calendar for reminders, has favourites lists and also allows the option for remote record, although i haven't tested this as i don't have Sky.

You can indeed - alas it ignores favourites and always seams to choose BBC ONE Oxford for me...

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Will try them all (love Android), but I reckon that TV guide UK Pro looks really good!
