EPG, Fancast and Locate TV
8 May, 2008 | Written by Frank Carver | under Information
I have recently been thinking a lot about on-line EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) functionality, so I’m keeping an eye out for interesting implementations. here’s two I have found.
“Fancast” is US-only but emphasises the ability to play actual episodes: Fancast | Watch Online Videos, TV, Movies, Trailers, and More!
“Locate TV” seems much more worldwide, and has an apparently huge database of programmes, but concentrates on schedules in the assumption that users will want to watch stuff on a real TV: LocateTV – Find TV shows, movies, cast and crew on TV, on DVD and online
For years Frank Carver has been paying attention to the strange world of convergent technology. During that time he has discussed and researched broad subject areas, come to some surprising conclusions, produced and distributed digital media, scattered ideas and opinions like sparks from a firework, and above all consulted for businesses both large and small to help develop and deploy successful systems, services, and products in this highly complex arena.
