The great TiVo PVR records all the TV I could possibly want, but I sometimes still look at the TV guide to see if it’s worth getting up from sitting at the PC. Of course there are various TV Guide websites, but none of that is as convenient as a single click popup in your browser.

Here’s a Chrome / Firefox addon I wrote to show TV Listings with a single click:

V 1.0

Features

  • View now and next TV listings with a single click
  • Shows 20 most popular channels

 
Coming soon

  • Searching and reminders

  • Customisable channel list

It also adds the oft-requested feature of page numbers at the top of threads on the main site:
