LocateTV Blog

This morning brings the exciting news that as of Monday, LocateTV moves from the rawness and elitism of private beta into the democratic love-in of PUBLIC BETA. Hip, hip!
Over a month of fantastic feedback from our triallists has enabled the development team to create a whole new ‘fuzzy’ search function, to greatly expand our […]

filmforay is much more than a blog, it’s a revolution. Although creator Linden Tibbets does indeed blog on the site, giving development updates as well as media news and music video picks, filmforay is really all about the community.
In this case, that community is a group of film makers and enthusiasts ‘laying siege to Hollywood’ […]

Are you using LocateTV to find back-to-back episodes of Little House On The Prairie, making a bad week at work seem that bit more bearable? Searching for old Tom Cruise movies so you can remember how innocently iconic he was all his pre-Scientology, pre-patriarch 80s splendour?

However, there are times when searching for content by director is a better bet. This is pretty common for someone like Hitchcock or Scorsese, famous directors […]

Another update from the world of region-specific, multi-media, TV and film searchorama.
The great news is that our triallists seem to love the new search page - it’s ironed out many of the problems people have had searching for their favourite shows and actors, and we’ve had some very positive comments.
Of course, we’ve noticed some less […]

The era of the Bush/Blair love-in may seem but a distant memory, but The Emmys were proof that transatlantic ties hold strong, with Brits Ricky Gervais and Helen Mirren both scooping prizes at the US awards show this week.
Less surprising was the dominance of The Sopranos, garnering awards for oustanding drama, best writing and best […]

Health warning: the DVD price comparison feature on LocateTV can seriously raise your blood pressure.
