TV & Satellite Week

TV & Satellite Week is among the the pricier TV guides, at (currently) £1.05 an issue, but it's worth every penny in my opinion. With a greater emphasis on the listings themselves than most competing magazines, as well as comparatively little coverage of the soaps and a heavier focus on cult programming and US imports, it makes a refreshing change from some of the cheaper TV guides and suits the needs of those who watch a wide range of TV channels better than most other top-range TV guides. -- Page by page -- The first twenty-odd pages of the 100-page magazine are usually dedicated to features and short articles on that week's notable ...  Read the complete review

TV and Satellite Week bills itself as “Best for Digital Listings” and they’re probably right. The magazine contains weekly programme listings and schedules for a large number of satellite and terrestrial TV channels, in fact over sixty different channels are listed here. A nice feature in this magazine is the “Evening-at-a-glance” feature, this lists 50 different channels in an easy to read one page format, that tells you what shows are on between 7pm through till 11.30pm. If you watch a lot of movies on TV or satellite, then the information in here should be just about everything you need. All the Sky movie ...  Read the complete review

If you have Sky (or cable) and you want a comprehensive listings magazine, this one is for you! It has al the sky channels set out so much easier than others and, in my experience, the others tend to list satellite information all crammed together with no commentary on a program whatsoever! When I buy a TV guide, it is always this one. There are some articles at the beginning of the mag, reviews of new prgrams, new series and perhaps a celebrity interview and then there is a comprehensive, yet really easy to follow guise for each day of the week. Since I first started getting ti ,there are about double the amount of pages per day of listings but ...  Read the complete review

One magazine I get every week is TV and Satellite Week. After getting Sky+ almost a year and a half ago, it has become an indispensable addition to the lounge - usually on the floor! The most annoying thing about television is missing a good programme, only having some smart alec asking you whether you saw it the day after. Thats really annoying. I use the Sky Plus listing system, but when you don't know what programmes are about - then a magazine comes in handy. Each day is colour coded and covers all the major channels as well as ones that you don't get listing for in national newspapers. E.g. Sky Arts and FX channels. There are ten pages for ...  Read the complete review

I buy this magazine but sadly have to use iit along side other magazines usually the freebie ones in the weekend papers. When I decide to check out a certain channel this magazine seems to have missed the channel required. YES the magazine does contain good read ups on up and coming programmes but does seem to lack a certain item usually the channel i'm after!! Why can't there just be one set magazine that contains all listings which also includes Radio channels. I carry on buying this magazine because it's a very easy day by day guide for the main channels such as U.K. GOLD and SKY ONE, which I enjoy to watch on a regular basis. BUT please can ...  Read the complete review
