BREAKING. TopTV finally launches a secret beta version of their online TV guide they're working on.


You're reading it here first.

I can reveal that TopTV has launched a secret beta version of their online TV guide. [Please see my update below at the end of this post.]

This follows after TopTV had a complete disastrous start with their electronic programme guide (EPG) and a still non-existent online TV guide, leaving its thousands of subscribers with very little alternatives of sources intime and up to date TV schedules. TopTV has made several false promises as to when the pay TV operator's online TV guide on the official TopTV website would be available and there is nothing yet.

But now I can tell you about this beta version RIGHT HERE where the various TopTV channels are listed according to date, and allows you to scroll and check out what is currently on, and what programmes are next.

UPDATE Wednesday 26 May 14:47 - I made a mistake. I'm told this online TopTV TV guide is not of their making and has nothing to do with On Digital Media (ODM). South Africa's new pay TV operator that's now almost a month in commercial operation, is still struggling to get their own TopTV guide act together. Instead, this TV guide is a normal consumer-created, and consumer-implemented online TV guide for TopTV's channels. Who knows. Maybe TopTV should pay and get a few of them to help out and get their TV guide up and running.
