I had the misfortune of watching number 3 last year! The 2nd one is fine. But the third was one too many.

Yes I looked at that. But it doesn't give you quite the same amount of detail. It doesn't go so far in advance either, but it is a good basic TV guide though.

Ok. That's interesting. I have just had to renew my subscription for £9.99. I think next year I might reconsider and go for the £2.99 version. Cheers for the info.

I've been using Digiguide for my media centre PC (as an EPG) for the last three years.
I've always been able to view a month in advance online.
