Alternative to digiguide?

[Glaucus]

My subscription is about to run out and I don't like paying for software. In fact I think other than windows this is the only pay for software I have,

is there any good standalone alternatives?

Could you not simply use sites like http://www.onthebox.com and any extra info could be obtained from http://www.tv.com and/or http://www.imdb.com

As to an actual free desktop alternative, I'm not aware of any.

it's not really the same and might as well just use sky menu with things like that.
