With zipy.tv there are no more page reloads to see the next three hours,
or switching between pages to find out when repeats are on.
You can view a complete 7 day schedule on one page with
smooth scrolling between days,
instant search,
and highlighting of all your favourite programmes.
Why I made it.
I made this site because the websites I was using previously didn't make it easy to see when
all the repeats of a programme were on relative to the other programmes I watched,
so it was hard to work out when to record everything I wanted to watch in a week.
I wanted a better online tv schedule; one as good as the epg in my beloved Pace Twin Freeview box,
which at the time they were released had arguably the best epg of any Freeview set top box.
It could show more channels and programmes on the screen, and the remote made it a breeze to navigate.
I searched the net for a website as good as that epg, but I didn't find one; so I decided to build my own.
Currently ITV data is unavailable, read more here and sign the petition.
However I will be trying to source data for new channels (including ITV) provided I can cover the costs.
There will be gaps in the schedule overnight for some channels during off-air time.

Adding/Removing/Sorting Channels
Click the button in the top left of the page; or this one here.
Navigating
Drag the schedule with the mouse or use the mousewheel to scroll back and forth in the schedule by one hour increments.
If you have more channels than can fit on the screen then move the mouse over the scrollbar on the right, or the channel names on the left to scroll up and down with the wheel.
Drag the slider:
to move forward and back within the week. Click on the days of the week above the slider to move to the same time on different days.
(Yes this could all do with an image and some labels, but since the layout is in flux that will have to wait.)
