    Not that I watch much on the tv, but I like to see what's on just in case there's something interesting that I would like to see.
    However I don't know the best site where I can find out - the Radio Times site and the TV guide.co.uk keep logging me out and that's a nuisance.

    Others I've tried list all the available channels and it's a nuisance scrolling down through them - most of them are irrelevant to me.

    Does anyone know of a decent tv guide I can get on my computer ?

    Don't know of any such sites, but we thought the Radio Times magazine was getting expensive, now £4.50 even though it has some interesting articles apart from the program details.

    Also fed up with the local supermarket not having a regular weekly supply date, so opted for a postal subscription, get the first 10 weeks for just £1 a week, then at 6 monthly for just over £2 a time , delivered.

    Thanks for all your help.
    I've already tried the Freeview TV guide but it lists all sorts wierd channels and it's a nuisance trying to find the chanels I watch in amongst all the other ones.

    The other one, TV guide.co.uk keeps logging me out and I have to type in my email address and password every time I want to see it.

    I don't want to pay for the Radio Times, I'd never read it, I just want to glance at a list of what's on.

    I wouldn't know how to use an on screen tv guide. I don't even know if my tv has one and I don't know how to find out. I don't want to mess around with the controll buttons, every time I've tried that it b uggars the whole thing up.

    Thank you all anyway :smile:

      I just press the button on my remote marked "guide", when I'm finished I push the same button and it goes back to where it was.
      I only have freeview, nothing fancy.

          The ones that have this keep logging me out. I haven't tried the others because they don't seem to have a selection option.
          I've never seen a 'remember me' option although I have looked for one..

          I think my tv make is JVC, it is written on the front. Don't know the model.

          Just a thought, but maybe you are not allowing cookies, that could be why you get logged out

            I only allow essential cookies so it should work, but you may be right.
