TVissimo.com is a television schedule and online video content search engine designed to find TV programs and movies you want to watch, quickly, easily and free. Whether you’re at home or away, you can instantly find the precise TV show schedules and your exact channel numbers. With hundreds of channels delivering thousands of programs daily, printed TV schedules have become pretty useless, while on-screen cable or satellite schedules are slow, difficult to use and offer only limited details and functionality. Finding online (streaming or download) content requires searching many websites in different formats. TVissimo provides a single entry point for finding content everywhere.

   

TVissimo.com is doing for TV what Google™ has done for the web. Rather than focus on channels, TVissimo is designed around the concept that people have TV-Show-Type favorites, regardless of what channel the show is on. To see differences between various TV show search providers, go to TV-Show-Schedule.com. On some top-ranked services, lack of results doesn’t mean the show is unavailable, simply that the search is inaccurate.

Search any way you prefer, using Google-type keywords or phrases, for Categories such as newsmagazine, football, children’s cartoons — or by any criteria, such as description or actor/star/show-type. You can even specify prime or rerun, length, or time slot, and display the schedule sorted by program name or start time.  For example, you can browse through a list of comedy movies that are on tonight between 8-11 p.m., or check if a Nicholas Cage movie is on. And you can print out your own private customized TV schedule, sequenced by start-time or program name.

TV show listings are available for up to 14 days, refreshed nightly, all year around. Television watching can now be far more interesting, entertaining and enjoyable since it is all about your favorite shows. Online TV show and movie availabilities are refreshed daily for the currently indexed sites, more being added in the near future.

Go to TVissimo.com, and create your quick profile by selecting your TV service provider (cable, satellite or fiber) in your zip code and setting your channel preferences if you like. You can also save multiple locations (i.e. your weekend home, grandmother’s house, RV or hotel during a business trip). Visit our blog, Blog.TVissimo.com to learn tips and techniques to enhance your TV viewing experience.  Learn about the experiences of other users finding programs they did not know were available.

TVissimo.com’s innovation is based on searching the available TV show details using a patent pending database search technology developed over a decade. This approach was based on the principal’s expertise developing rapid and accurate searches for complex business data applied to the challenges faced daily by people trying to find their favorite television shows quickly and easily.

You can readily send TV program alerts to yourself or to friends by email or Twitter message. TVissimo friends’ lists are created by entering your contacts’ email addresses or Twitter IDs and specifying which of your favorite programs to send to any person or group. You can send business related shows to co-workers, entertainment programs to friends, religious programs to church group members, etc.

Once your favorites are stored, future searches will bring up only the shows matching your preferences, which can easily be modified later. For the first time in the new TV world of hundreds of channels and dozens of online video sites, finding your favorite TV programs can be fun and effective by putting an end to channel surfing and never again missing your favorite shows or finding them half over.
