So lets get some things ironed out.
- Freeview has lots of channels, lots of them are crap and I would _never_ watch anything one them.
- 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!!??
