It depends where you are. For those of us in the UK the following are tell tale signs:
- On the initial guide options screen after entering a postcode - the various lines up contain the number of channels in brackets after the line up name. For example Local Broadcast Listing (148 Channels).
- The line ups listed on this screen are also different to the Tivo based guide. For example Local Broadcast Listing with Gracenote but Freeview Central (West) OTA Broadcast with Tivo.
- Currently channels 57 (ITV Be +1) and channel 68 (Horror) on Freeview are mapped to 97 and 70 respectively. - This will be fixed by Gracenote when they have caught up with the Freeview channel changes.
- Some channels have updated icons (ITV and ITV +1 are now colourful whereas some have darker and unreadable icons).
- Some programmes that didn’t have Series and Episode data (such as neighbours on Channel 5) do now have that with Gracenote.
- Sony Movies and Sony Movies Action have intermissions half way through movies with Gracenote (Only the ITV and Channel 5 based channels had this with the Tivo guide - this will hopefully be fixed at some point through so don’t rely on it.
