TitanTV

I used to love TitanTV, but as of now it is worthless. It takes forever for the website to even propagate once you click the link, then it locks up as soon as you get onto the site. Plus their cookie files no longer work and I have to log back in every time I go back to the site. I have to wonder if some new entity bought TitanTV and have fubared it completely. But as of now I'm done with it and have removed the link from all my computers.

When I want to select the time, my keyboard pops up even though the guide uses a drop down box. The ads that play are annoying and use my data. The guide is often wrong about what is actually on tv. Example, wheel of fortune wasnt on, the nfl draft was. If I try to use the smart phone version, I can only see one hour at a time.

TitanTV must be going out of business. They still block their listings even when there is no adblocker, won't be long until there's no customers to see all those ads

Used to be a LOT better. Now there are so many ads it's borderline annoying. Takes forever to load the web page; it freezes; and you can't interact with the page (even scroll!) until it's finished downloading video ads.

They don't offer a subscription, but should.
Now looking for a better channel guide.

Rubbish service every weekend no football after service non existent save hour money find a different provider

This was a great site to see what's on TV. About a month ago TitanTV changed its' privacy policy. So many ads now load, including video, the page won't load or scroll properly. It constantly refreshes without request until the page is frozen; it then freezes the browser. Absolutely ruined a great site.

It's free. I can see the programs on my listed stations for two weeks ahead. It's perfect for my purposes.

The procedure for creating your own TV listings "grid" is a little tedious, but once it's done, you can sign in from anywhere and you're immediately presented with your TV grid.

It was good for many years. Then a few months ago, they started running a little video advertisement in the bottom of the grid. Bad enough, since I don't want my computers' clock pulses being spent on video ads.

Then, yesterday, a full 1/4 window ad started popping up. So far, you can close the video window, but it comes back in a minute, anyway. Long-hated, -dreaded, and -despised POP-UP VIDEO ADS. My desired content is my TV grid, and they're covering almost half of it with VIDEO ADS.

Years ago, for some reason, I turned away from TV Guide and chose to use TitanTV instead. I'll be revisiting that decision immediately. I'll have to find some clean and benevolent service quickly, because I just closed the browser tab with my TitanTV grid.

I am especially disturbed that ad-free Opera browser on Android is unable to block their video ad, and Windows 7 laptop with Firefox and the "uBlock Origin" ad-blocking add-on are both unable to block TitanTV's video ad. If a puny little TV-grid web service is able to beat ad-blockers, then I have to assume those sanity-saving ad-blockers are going to become completely useless everywhere on the internet pretty soon.

Update Oct 7 2021

I think I've used my ad-blocker software to permanently eliminate the video field.

The video field grew, to cover 1/4 to 1/3 of the TV grid.

I already had the Firefox add-on "uBlock Origin" installed on my computer. UBlock includes a lot of buttons and options that I don't know how to use.

But I figured out how to use it to eliminate the video annoyances on TitanTV: Display your TV grid. Click on the uBlock icon. In the little graphical menu that opens, click the "eyedropper" icon. Now, your mouse becomes "an eliminator."

Move the mouse-cursor over the darned video that covers 1/3 the display. If positioned correctly, the video field -- and only the video field -- will be highlighted. Click the mouse to eliminate the highlighted video field. Click and kill.

I may have had to cycle through those steps 2 or 3 times for the offending field to completely go away. I remember that the first time, the entire content of the field disappeared, leaving the field white and empty. Unless a single click eliminated everything; I should have taken notes.

If that doesn't eliminate the video permanently, I'll come back here for another update. Either way, I'll come back to confirm it works permanently.

There's another row in the TV-grid that contains another video ad. Do the same eyedropper thing to get rid of that row, also, hopefully permanently. For that advertising row within the TV grid, I had to do the eyedropper routine about 4 times before the whole offending row was completely eliminated. After one or two times, the content was removed, leaving a big white empty row. Another one or two clicks eliminated the big empty row.

Now, my TV grid is clean again.

In the process, I found tvtv.us. It's not quite as flexible as TitanTV, but may possibly be sufficient if you want an internet TV grid for your lineup. Today, tvtv did not deliver any annoying ads to me.

Better then any other TV listing site on the net, and much better then TV guide.

Cox Cable revised their channel lineup over 4 months ago. Despite several requests, they have still NOT undated their listings. Outdated TV listings are just about useless!

When you click the NOW button, it's supposed to "go to current time", but that doesn't happen until 5 minutes after the time. Unless most viewers want to review what they just finished watching, I don't see why the don't update the display right on the time or a minute before. That way you could see another half hour ahead. Well, I guess they know what they're doing and what do I know about consumer preferences or common intuition?

Titan TV lets you build a channel guide for your television provider. You can create filter profiles and quickly find if you favorite shows are on, or build a channel guide with just the channels that you always watch. It lets you see if the show listed is a repeat or new, if it's in HD or not... etc. I keep a version on my ipad so i don't have to click through the endless channel guide on the cable box.
