Mightyv – Online TV guide thingy (vs RadioTimes)

So lets get some things ironed out.

1. Freeview has lots of channels, lots of them are crap and I would _never_ watch anything one them.
2. TV Guides cost money, harm the environment and are full of gossip about soaps and people that I could not care less about.

Right. Good. So this is where Mightyv comes in! It’s a free online TV guide! Now if you’re anything like me (with the hatred of magazines) you might have already tried the RadioTimes website – which also provides a ‘free’ online TV guide (when it’s bloody working).

In many ways these two things are quite similar:

• Can choose the channels you want to see in your view – removing QVC etc
• Let you look a week or so into the future
• Give descriptions and ratings of shows

But in some ways they are different…

• Mightyv lets you create your own schedule and export it as a calendar (in ICS format) which you can then integrate into 30Boxes (the best online calendar there is)
• RadioTimes is better at regional variations
• RadioTimes has _all_ the channels Mightyv doesn’t cos of legal and money issues :(
• Mightyv has a little widget (shown below) that shows the next 5 things on your schedule
• Mightyv lets you make friends, change your buddy icon and see what your friends are watching
• Mightyv DOES SERIES!!! – Yes you can add a series to your schedule – HOW GOOD IS THAT!!??
