Design tweaking

I liked the original design for mightyv, but I did feel that the navigation was a little confusing and that it was wasting a lot of screen estate. This week, I've been tweaking the design of the site. I've introduced new menu bars to try to simplify navigation and we have a brand new logo designed by Matthew Gilbert (Chimpfactory). It's a superhero with an orange cape and a television for a head (mightyv, geddit?):



The navigation is currently a little rough, but don't worry, there's more tweaking ahead. Enjoy!

New ITV logos

I know I'm behind the times, but I've only just noticed the new ITV logos. They look quite nice alone, but they really come into their own when put together:



See what I mean? Hmm, what a weird four. Anway, the new logos are on mightyv...

RSS now works with 30boxes.com

Thanks to Stephen Burch for pointing out that our RSS was a little lame - we've fixed this; it now works with http://30boxes.com/ - which was Stephens issue.

It is a shame that 30boxes doesn't yet support iCal imports as that would make more sense than using RSS, maybe it will one day.

More and more features...

The schedule system has been overhauled - there's still a few bits we're not happy with but overall it should be behaving itself a lot better - it will now no longer add programs to your schedule which you have had on there previously.

New logos for all the ITV stuff

Lots of database cleanup stuff - but you don't care about that.

Page for the most rated series (on the channels you watch)

Page for more recent comments

Lots of cleaning up on the day view - so there are now up and down arrows around the time so you can move to the next morning or previous evening, we also show programs which started before today but end today.

There's a feedback form you can now use

The recommendation system is back again - it's purely on tags at the moment, but we'll look at including ratings at a later stage.

You can now recommend a program or series to a friend

We've also made it so you can add links to external sites - such as Wikipedia or the home page of a program

Enjoy!

Life on Mars / FilmFour

One of my favourite TV shows this year has been Life on Mars. No, it's not sci-fi, but it is about a detective travelling back in time to Manchester 1973 after he is run over by car. Fast cars, cool music and witty one-liners make this rock, and you're always left guessing as to whever he has gone back in time, or if he's in a coma.

In other news, looks like Freeview will gain some more films as FilmFour will drop its subscription and move to Freeview. Where will I find the time to watch all these new films?
