So you’ve found a great TV show or movie on LocateTV and it’s next on the Hallmark channel. Hmmm… what number is that channel on? LocateTV has the answer!

If you set your TV service provider (click the flag icon in the search bar) LocateTV will now show you channel numbers for your supplier. It’s as simple as that

1. Click on the flag icon
2. Select your TV service provider
3. See the channel numbers

If you haven’t set your TV service provider you will see a little icon reminding you to set your supplier:

Once you have selected your TV service provider will see the channel numbers across the site. Here is an example on the new “What’s On TV” feature…

Just a small step for LocateTV but hopefully a giant leap of usability for our users!

It is now a few weeks since we introduced our new TV guide – What’s On TV and already it is one of the most used pages on our site.

The aim of What’s On TV is simply to answer the question of what can I watch on TV right now. TV shows are arranged by topic (or genre) letting you hone straight in on the type of show you are in the mood to watch. We have discovered that presenting TV shows by topic means that you are more likely to benefit from discovering something new or unexpected. This serendipity is something that is missing in a conventional TV channel based guide.

The top topics people look for shows on What’s On TV are Comedy, Action and Drama. However it is great to see that all the topics are getting well used – from Westerns to Golf. If you wish to know what you can watch tonight then we have that covered with What’s On TV – Primetime. If you already know the show or actor you want to see then a search on LocateTV will tell you where and when you can watch it.

If you have not tried What’s On TV yet then please give it a go and let us know what you think.
