FREE telvision guide on your iPhone - no App download necessary.

[Rybold]

Earlier today, on macrumors.com/iphone, I saw a new App under "new Apps" for a television guide. So, I went to the App store in iTunes and searched for "tv guide" and several Apps came up - and all cost money. BUT, in the comments section on one of the Apps, someone referred us to a free tv guide, designed specifically for the iPhone. ON YOUR IPHONE, go to iphone.television.aol.com, and you will find an EXCELLENT television guide, designed specifically for the iPhone. Just save the webpage link into your favorites or onto your Home screen. :)

Check out the icon that it adds to your Home Screen for you:

Thanks, a totally awesome find!:cool:

[mappyman]

Better one for the UK:

Also there is the radiotimes website.

[waremaster]

Excellent find. Thank you very much. Also bookmarked.

[sammich]

Well, I know this is a web-only/non-app thread, but the Aussies have the IceTV guide (http://www.icetv.com.au/about/iphone.shtml), which is basically the best EPG/remote PVR controlling app out there. Best of all it's free.

[EvanLugh]

Cool thanks for the UK one.

I find AOL to be very slow and pretty buggy. Doing anything besides viewing the current listings for the current time is a crapshoot. And searching seems to have zero relevance to what's currently programmer. A search seems to be more of a movie title database than a schedule.

[DigMe]

Cool. I usually use Yahoo's TV schedule but I'll check this one out.

Agreed, not a fan of the AOL guide. I think i'm just going to pay the 1 or 2 bucks and get a native app.

anyone know of an Australian guide? better yet anyone know of a tv guide thats small enough to Webclip on Dashboard? theyre too big.

[Lamplighter77]

Yeah, the AOL one was terrible. I bought What's On and I am pretty happy with it except you can't create a favorite channel list. At least I haven't figured out how to. There is also an update that is supposed to be coming for it too.

Supposedly customizable channel lists is coming in an update (though I don't think the next one). I'm waiting for that to come, and then I'll buy the app then -- as scrolling through ALL the channels now doesn't sound like a fun time, when I only watch about 6-7 channels at most.

[jstanier]

Thanks for the links to the UK web apps, they're very good :)

I'm sure there's a few developers a bit annoyed about their paid TV guide applications, though. :)

[FearlessFreep]

Great Find! This looks like a nice WebApp and basically duplicates the functionality of What'sOn without having to pay the $.99. My What'sOn is crashing now anyhow, so I'll give this a try.

...doesn't work for us up in Canada :( ....hopefully, this one surfaces:

What would be awesome is an MSN Remote Record App for Media Center Users.

Thank you!

Blackberry (RIM) already allows users to program their TiVo from their phones. Hopefully, an App for the iPhone will be developed.

That's exactly what I need, or better yet, a slingbox app!!!

[LostLogik]

Here's hoping Sky release their Sky+ remote record program. Had it on my N95 and it's one of a couple of things I miss since getting the iPhone.

It didn't add an icon to my home screen.

[macbookairman]

wow thanks. i was about to buy one of the apps that does this on the apps store. now i can use that money on something else.

[Daiden]

Thanks! I'd never waste my money on an app that does this, but it is fairly useful to get for free. The AOL one is very good in my area.

[StingerT125]

Working fine - thanks for the info!

That might be helpful if I had a TiVo.

[macbookairman]

Make sure that you don't add it to your favorites. You want to add it to your home screen.

This means: Hit the plus sign in safari, choose at to home screen, and thats it. An icon will be added.

[Rybold]

Click on the plus sign at the bottom of the Safari page, and
then click on "Add to Home Screen" and it will appear.

Just FYI TV Plus has just been released on the App Store and it includes support for Sky+ Remote Record. I've been missing this functionality ever since I got an iPhone so it's great to finally have it. £2.99 but well worth it so far I think - interface is very slick and the remote record is very neatly incorporated. And no I'm not the developer but I'm just a bit giddy with excitement at the prospect of this functionality. :)

www.linktoapp.com/icetv -free too

[SFC Archer]

is also FREE and is a heck of a lot faster then AOL it also shows you movies and both movies and TV shows has Trailers available for most of the shows. It is customizable...only screen channels you are interested in. Searches for Genres or favorite Actors. Lists local theaters. This app is far better then any web app out there and did I say its STILL FREE. 4.5 stars with over 700 reviews.
