Feature Requests

   Firstly, the site looks great, well done!

   I’m glad to hear that there is a planned favourites list and I was wondering if, in addition to being able to add programmes to the list for the next week, will this list also allow users to view the past week of listings, add anything that was broadcast in the past week to their favourites list and then view these added programmes? This is what used to be possible on the old RT site and I found this useful so that I had a list of programmes I wanted to watch using catch-up services. The ability to view the past week of listings also meant that I could look-up programme information about things I’d already seen to find out more about it (such as cast members etc.).

   Another useful feature would be radio listings for all of the main national BBC radio stations. Are there any plans for this?

   Many thanks!

   Just watching Ottolenghi’s programme on jerusalem. Does anyone else think it’s a new Borat wheeze?

   I too miss the old Radio Times site favorites list. Also the star ratings on films. It would also be helpful if the ZingZing TV grid would remember to open in full screen mode. Other than that a great site. The best I have looked at replace the old RT site.

   Many thanks

   Hi Marco

   I know, you`re busy to make a ” favorites list” like the old RT.

   When I would like to store “Escape to the country” I`ve noticed it is broadcasted on different times through the week.
   I now have to store them once a day.
   Is it possible to “remind” my favorites? Even if they are broadcast on different times, or different channels? (ie BBC1 BBC2)
   I realise it is a heck of a job for you, but I had to ask. :)

   Thank you

   Luke

   Hi Marco
   Great site, just the issue of the info black box from the top rhs obscuring reading, and the benefit of this facility as an option only on a programmes interested in on the grid
   Thanks

   Needless to say, your program is the best TV listings guide around. Fantastic job.

   One small request though, dig out your Android phone or similar (or perhaps even a larger touchscreen), and try re-jiggling the screen a little so things are easier to press – in particular, you could make the OPTIONS and FULLSCREEN buttons the same height as the HOME and other buttons, then we could press the FULLSCREEN button easily, and not keep missing and pressing the OPTIONS button instead. If for some reason, you can’t fit all the buttons on one line that way, then maybe put the OPTIONS buttons somewhere else?

   Also, when you press a program and get the info box up, perhaps make it easier to get rid of (bigger ‘x’ or maybe even closes itself after a while?!!), making sure it lines up nicely with the right margin, so the close ‘x’ is in view?

   But great work, you are undoubtedly a skillful programmer, hats off all round!

     Luke,

     Zingzing reminder features are in progress but it is slow going as it is such a big piece of work. You will be able to see when programmes are on, whatever the channel. This will be configurable.

     Regards,
     Marco from Zingzing

   Love the speed and usability of this guide, esp dragging!

   One thing that would be really useful is a season and episode number, and a repeat/new indication. Some programmes have so many repeats of older series it’s easy to miss the new episodes.

   Thanks for an otherwise excellent guide.

    Ex-RT – thanks for doing such a nice job.
    Requests:
    1. Please can you add ITV+1 (Freeview 33) and FIVE+1 (Freeview 44).
    2. It would be nice if the colours could be user-configured.
    3. It would be even nicer if there could be a few more colour classifications – for example soaps, crime, drama, food, travel, action etc.

    Many thanks again!

    As another ex RT user I was comparing film list with another popular website, and find this one much easier to use, however I’ve just noticed that TCM film channel isn’t listed. Are you able to add this channel to the list?

    Hi Marco! Best wishes for the New Year, I know thats a bit late I been out of country . I see Freesat has load of new channels and +1s which you have not added to their list. When you have time can you take a look? Bye the way the site just gets better and better thanks to your hard work, it is still the best listing site out there.

    Regards

    From an ex RT user, great site the best I have found for me to plan my weeks viewing, print it out through Google calendar and set my recorder.
    Two things for your consideration, could you please include Military History, Virgin media channel 236.
    and
    When I want to set my recorder for the weeks recordings I go onto your site usually on Saturday morning and Fridays listing are still there, which prevents me from checking the listings for the following Friday. any chance of having the listings roll forward a bit earlier in the day?

    Regards and thanks Trevor
