FREE telvision guide on your iPhone - no App download necessary.

Earlier today, on macrumors.com/iphone, I saw a new App under "new Apps" for a television guide. So, I went to the App store in iTunes and searched for "tv guide" and several Apps came up - and all cost money. BUT, in the comments section on one of the Apps, someone referred us to a free tv guide, designed specifically for the iPhone. ON YOUR IPHONE, go to iphone.television.aol.com, and you will find an EXCELLENT television guide, designed specifically for the iPhone. Just save the webpage link into your favorites or onto your Home screen.

Check out the icon that it adds to your Home Screen for you:

It didn't add an icon to my home screen.

wow thanks. i was about to buy one of the apps that does this on the apps store. now i can use that money on something else.

Thanks! I'd never waste my money on an app that does this, but it is fairly useful to get for free. The AOL one is very good in my area.

Blackberry (RIM) already allows users to program their TiVo from their phones. Hopefully, an App for the iPhone will be developed.

That might be helpful if I had a TiVo.

Make sure that you don't add it to your favorites. You want to add it to your home screen.

This means: Hit the plus sign in safari, choose at to home screen, and thats it. An icon will be added.

Click on the plus sign at the bottom of the Safari page, and
then click on "Add to Home Screen" and it will appear.

Here's hoping Sky release their Sky+ remote record program. Had it on my N95 and it's one of a couple of things I miss since getting the iPhone.

Just FYI TV Plus has just been released on the App Store and it includes support for Sky+ Remote Record. I've been missing this functionality ever since I got an iPhone so it's great to finally have it. £2.99 but well worth it so far I think - interface is very slick and the remote record is very neatly incorporated. And no I'm not the developer but I'm just a bit giddy with excitement at the prospect of this functionality.

iTV

is also FREE and is a heck of a lot faster then AOL it also shows you movies and both movies and TV shows has Trailers available for most of the shows. It is customizable...only screen channels you are interested in. Searches for Genres or favorite Actors. Lists local theaters. This app is far better then any web app out there and did I say its STILL FREE. 4.5 stars with over 700 reviews.
