TV Guide

ngourlay's picture

Quick question. Where do you find out what's on TV, and does your TV guide include all the channels you watch?

My answer. I use the on-screen guide most of the time, but it doesn't work for Dubai One or MBC channels.

Hi Nigel, they have them on their websites (though the MBC one doesn't work too well);

fyi, the built in TV Guide on SHOWTIME shows what's on both MBC and Dubai One channels.

Try Star Times, it as most channels in groups, for example, Orbit, Showtime, Starworld. Its not always an exact science though. Alternatively just listen to BBC Radio 4. I am a miriad of useless information and you have to change your working hours to fit around the Archers. Star Times is an independant TV listings comapny, nothing to do with Star. Good luck, JJ

ngourlay....Are you talking about Moziac..or satellite TV?

Satellite TV. I've been looking at the TV guides in the local papers. Here's a typical useful extract:

** CNN **
9.30 World News
10.00 News
10.55 Sport
11.00 News

I can't imagine anyone finds TV listings useful for news channels, but many popular channels aren't listed: Dubai One, BBC Food, ShowSeries 2, MBC 4.

ShowTime on a Coship receiver. I'm going to go out and buy a copy of Star Times. Maybe that's the sensible choice.

Same as I've got. The EPG on mine shows program listings for Dubai One, all MBC channels, BBC Food and all Showtime Channels among others.

You can look online at www.startimes.com but it may not have all the things you're looking for. I find that this, combined with the Showtime online schedule that goes a month in advance covers most channels I watch.
