If you’re interested in accessible online TV listings, you might be interested in our new TV and film search website LocateTV.com. Like the technology you talk about here, it is region-specific, telling you when a show or an actor is next on on TV, online or DVD, where you are. It’s big aim is to be easy and simple to use, so it would be interesting if you like it just as much.
