Personally I prefer the TV Now guide. The vertical layout and the way the times match up with each other helps. The problem is that when it loses a feed for some reason it shows out dated data, instead of just not working like TVNZs offering.

This EPG is pretty much the same one that launched on nzoom in 2001. It will be interesting to see how it evolves over the next year. EPGs seem to be notoriously difficult to get right online.

The TVNZ guide has been there forever (or at least since TVNZ.co.nz relaunched into it's current form some time ago).

Unfortunately, it does have it's quirks (like the times don't line up correctly, etc). It is quite good none-the-less.

How long the "epg" has been in the URL I don't know (forever?), but the guide has been in that format since nzoom. It's certainly the on-line guide I use.

The only thing missing is episode information for non-TVNZ channels – if you want to find out what Simpsons episode…

Hey, well spotted. The "epg" in the URL stands for Electronic Programme Guide and it appears to be a web instance of the Freeview EPG. Anyone know how long it's been there?

I've had terrible trouble finding a decent online schedule, but just recently came across this on the TVNZ website (lists all free to air channels, except Maori TV). Nice format too. Beats the hell out of the brappy TVNow guide anyway.
