Another quick post to give some love to sites now using LocateTV embeds to show when their favorite people and TV shows are next on:

Feel free to drop us a line if you have spotted embeds in use on other sites and we can put them into our next post.

A walk down memory lane

Hopefully by now you will have noticed we recently made some major changes to the LocateTV homepage to make it easier to use and highlight some of the great features we have on the site, such as What’s On TV, My Picks and the new Seasons Starting This Week.

For those who haven’t seen it, here is a quick snapshot

LocateTV Homepage August 2008

Feeling all nostalgic I thought I’d use the Internet Archive to take a look at the homepage as it looked back in November 2007 (shortly after we launched into public BETA)…

LocateTV Homepage November 2007

OK, so a few things have stayed the same, the search box, the logo, etc. Gone are the green links (in favor of blue links to aid readability) and the big blocks for the top searches (or “tombstones” as we used to call them). We now have a splash more color to brighten up the page, but have tried to keep a simple and clean design.

We’re really proud of our new homepage… let us know what you think about the changes we’ve made.

Start watching TV seasons from the first episode

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 introduced a great new feature to LocateTV- Seasons starting this week. This lists all the TV shows with seasons starting this week where you live. Browse by day and see if you can discover something that you would like to watch. By chance I just discovered the first episode of Thunderbirds is being shown in the UK – serendipity in action.

Remember, if you know the series you are after you can always search LocateTV and find out if it is available where you live. If it is not on you can add it to your MyPicks page to easily check on later. For best results in LocateTV set your TV service provider.

Do give Seasons starting this week a try and let us know what you think!
