LocateTV Blog

We keep on emphasising that we want the site to be clean and simple, without flashing extras, banners, ‘hot celebrity gossip’ or any such white noise. There are plenty of TV and film sites out there where you can find out pretty much anything except for reliable information about when and when your favourite shows […]

There have been a number of incidences of visitors entering search terms into the email submission form, while this is great that we get such a quality insight into what terms you guys and gals will be looking up once we launch, it would be rather more beneficial for you all if you just gave […]

The whole development team are really excited this week as our live DVD price comparison lookup has just come together. It’s amazing to see how much the price of the same disk varies from different retailers. We had been waiting for commercial relationships to be set up and for finalised page designs. Now […]

Repeats and LocateTV make natural bedfellows. Missing a key episode of your favourite show, but scouring the listings for a chance to see it again to no avail (Sunday afternoon? Surely it’s repeated on Sunday afternoon) – is exactly the kind of scenario in which Locate will be a godsend.

The first move toward private beta has been advanced like a virgin pawn upon the shining chessboard of Web 2.0.
Next week we are bringing together a handful of the UK’s most informed and enthusiastic TV and film bloggers in a very cool venue in London (you know who you are, you lucky few) to […]

They’ve become national icons, really. They seem to be all over the web. Steve at the Low Culture blog has greeted them back like old friends. JauntyEmma wants to know if Kirstie’s written a parenting guide. House-hunter Trousers and his partner have developed something of a crush.
I can go one better: they have trodden my […]

I missed the last episode of Rome on Sunday night, ironically because I was busy working on LocateTV in my study and lost track of the time. Typed it into Locate this morning which shows that I have another chance to watch it on BBC Scotland tonight.
I thought that must be a bug, so […]

I’ve had a few. Don’t even mention the boy from San Paolo.
Anyway, LocateTV will be of genuine help to those who, like me, suffer from a particular kind of bizarre TV snobbery. Case in point: the recent fuss about the end-of-The-Sopranos tragedy. I took a characteristically disdainful stance. Ah, look at all you mugs of […]

How do you measure the cachet of a dot com?
When we first started development, we intended to have our primary site URL as ‘Locate.tv’, but after discussion with friends and family we had to acknowledge that many people are still not aware that ‘.tv’ is a valid web domain. This is even with the […]

I know that our blog is intended to be a cutting-edge inside scoop on the inspired technical developments we are pioneering each and every day to bring you the very best TV and film listings search engine that has ever been imagined. But it’s a Friday, and it’s raining, and I take pleasure from the […]
