DigiGuide is a TV guide for your PC - an electronic Interactive Program Guide similar in functionality to the Sky EPGTM but with the power, flexibility, and performance you would expect from a software product. It gives 14 days of TV listings.
- Recommend to Friend: We've added a basic Recommend to a Friend system. It uses the accounts system and if the recipient uses DigiGuide it will give the option to add a recommendation to their DigiGuide
- New listing view; Multi-List: Multi-list is like many single-channel list views arranged horizontally. In one "drag" of the horizontal scrollbar you can see the entire day for all of your selected channels
- Marker Image Picker: Picking images for use with your markers has gotten a whole lot easier with a new image picker. Combined with a new system in DigiGuide to group images together makes finding nice images much easier
- "I Want To" on all views: The "I Want To" section now, optionally, appears on all views including the Grid
- Programme description panel on all views: The Programme Description Panel from the Grid now, optionally, appears on all views
- Horizontal scrollbar: Added horizontal scrollbar on all programme lists as well as the marker list and the filter list
Reviewing 8.3 (Apr 26, 2009)
A good program, which Ive used for years now, but am seriously thinking of giving it up if I can find a half decent alternative.
Rule No.1: Don't use this if you are a gamer. I know you can have it on voice only, but thats hardly an answer to this problem.
The issue lies in that when a reminder window pops up, it always steals focus.
This can mean your game just got ruined (especially if you are online or your game is one that crashes when you do a task-switch).
Its happened to me one too many times now and I can't take it any more.
Its ruined my gaming enough times to make me want to drop this program. Its just not worth the hassle.
The other annoying thing is when you edit the markers, there is no option to tell it NOT to remind you if the program is a repeat. So combine that with the first annoyance and you have a potent combination.
Having said that Digiguide doesn't always pop its window up in front, sometiems it can do it in the background but not always and it is always a the most crucial time when it gets ya. Oh and yes, this is even with the option about taking focus, disabled. It just ignores it.
If you can deal with that crap, then get it, because apart from that which is a major issue imo, this program is very fully featured.
Its also in need of another update as it hasnt been touched in ages.

Really good programme guide. I have been using DigiGuide for a few years now, and using the Beta Versions of 8.3 for the past months.
I have not noticed any problems, always updates ok.

An excellent application for a UK user - I haven't had to look anywhere else for TV listings for the past several years. It works well and updates smoothly.

I would use if it could support AOL 7 or nineMSN TV listings for Ausstralian users like me.
