Looking for a TV guide

Danidan · Post by **Danidan** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:35 pm

Hi everyone,

I've been in Finland for a while, where basically all the TV programmes are in English... But do you know of a TV guide where programmes are given with their orginal names and not only a bunch of k's, ä's and y's (in other words, in Finnish

)

Couldn't find anything yet... Hints, anyone ?

This is perhaps the only redeeming feature of Helsinki Times.

I always wondered that it might be worth setting up a web-site just for this, but...

You know, there is this telkku.com.

http://www.telkku.com/

But telkku is in Finnish, even for English programmes!?

BUT, I found the solution from another website! Tvguido actually gives the programmes with their original titles:
http://www.tvguido.com

I had been looking for this sooo long, happy now

this website is not accurate. I am watching Fox just now and it is an american tv show similar to Storage Hunters but the website says

20.00 Matkalaukkujen metsästäjät

this translates to "Luggage hunters" - this is correct . .. however the finnish name was given. so is clearly wrong!

Channel Ava had "House MD" on which was correctly listed on the website

Telkku.com has the English names in the description iirc.

Jussi, that's true for only a few channels, and usually only for movies! In addition, the information found in the descriptions on telkku is the same as on tvguido.com
I've been using telkku too, until I heard of tvguido, and I just quickly checked telkku back.
I may be wrong but I did not find one single programme for which telkku has more information than tvguido. From what I saw, it's always tvguido that gives most, and whenever something is in telkku, it is in tvguido anyway.

kuteguy : tvguido is based on feedback (see their "about" page - www.tvguido.com/about.php), so if you find any inaccurate information, you can click on the feedback link that they have on every programme description. I have used it and the correction is usually quite fast.
As they put it in their own marketing gizmo "the quality of the service relies on your feedback".

Hope this helps,

Dan
