i. TV - One Stop TV & Movies - iPhone 3G

Try i.TV - it's free!

If I'm not mistaken, this could be the first TV browser that's free. I bought What's On, which is a no-nonsense TV guide, but i. TV actually has some really great features like picking your favorite TV shows and even your favorite actors. I wish I could pick my favorite channels but, oh well.

It is a little buggy. Because of the intense graphics and ability to do show trailers, it sometimes closes unexpectedly. The i.TV website says it will have an update to fix that.

To simply flick and browse channel can be difficult because of the load times. However, you can sort by genre, titles among other ways.

It's a one-stop shop for your TV and movie needs, and for the most part it does it well.

I accidently found what I consider the best TV guide app years ago, and have never found anything better. I use excite.com as my homepage on my computer. Once you customize the page, a TV listings is part of the page, and it is complete with different colors for different things and can be customized any way you want, and for anywhere and any cable system in your area. You can then have a bookmark to this custom page on any computer or phone. It has news and weather and other stuff too.
I know it may not sound like groundbreaking technology, but you have to see it and set it up to understand how good it really is.

If it could control my D*/HD/Tivo at home, that would be the shizzle!

This is a fantastic app! Very clean, easy to use and offers many features that really just need to be tried for you to know what their like. It also says in the description that programming of DVR's will be seen in future updates.

I love i.TV. I wrote a very nice review about it on my blog. What I like the most is that unlike "What's on", I can save my favorite channels, which is pretty much all i need from a tv guide app

That's a feature I really look forward too, even though my battery is not....

Yeah, hide everything you don't watch.

I was kind of hoping for just one channel that I DO watch.
