Reliability of listings greatly improved!

As previously hoped, Films on Freeview now has a working new system for updating its movie listings, meaning that you should no longer see blank days on the site. We hope that you'll now be able to trust on FoF for your viewing needs!

Previous issues were two-fold: the update process was manually triggered and lengthy, and sometimes came across problem titles that required fixing and meant doing the whole thing again. The new listings system handles these problem titles automatically, and thus can be scheduled to run automatically, with greater frequency and no baby-sitting.

This is still a pet project for me, but do get in touch if you have any suggestions, don't be a stranger to the forum, and tell your friends! George
