LocateTV Blog

Many TV shows are best viewed in episode sequence. For a great story, like Battlestar Galactica, you really want to start watching at the beginning of a season. If you are lucky enough to own a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) then you will want to start by recording episode 1.
For this very reason we have […]

Recently we rolled out shiny new designs for the LocateTV embeds. We hope that these will enable fansite and blog owners to more cleanly let their readers know when their favourite shows are next on. As always the embed information is dynamically updated for the location of the person viewing the page with the embed […]

It is great to hear that people are using the MyPicks feature on LocateTV to keep up to date with when their favorite shows and actors are available to watch. Already we have been asked if the limit of items that can be added to a MyPicks list can be raised - so now we […]

Happy New Year from everyone at the LocateTV blog… we hope you’ve had a fantastic Christmas and that LocateTV really helped you wade through all the rubbish in those crammed TV schedules to find what and who you really wanted to watch.

First up, we have the improved embedding pages. As always, you can search for any TV series, episode, film, actor or crew member and click on […]

As the change log attests, the functionality and cosmetics of LocateTV site are being developed and refined all the time, often thanks to the feedback you’ve been giving us throughout the beta process.
The site looks really quite different now from when we first moved into public beta. The colours are generally darker, with the text […]

Yesterday saw yet another update to the LocateTV changelog; announcing further bugfixes, design tweaks, and improvements to the functionality and usability of the site. This latest batch of updates includes fixes for some data issues users searching for South Park have been experiencing (thanks for the feedback, guys! Please continue letting us know if you […]

If you are not regularly reading the LocateTV change log…well, there’s no hope is there. I’m not trying to upset, but if you’re not keeping up to date with the latest fixes and improvements available for finding out when your favourite programmes, films and actors are next on TV, you’re not really putting in the […]
