I use a website called nextfilm.co.uk to set alerts for film appearances on TV - I have a a database of about 1000 films I wish to see (derived from people with film tastes most similar to mine), and setting an alert means I get sent an email a few days in advance - very useful! If you can find a similar service in your own countries, I would recommend it. But I 'only' have 382 alerts set at the moment - I guess because many of the older films have never been shown on TV, and of course with the very recent ones, they haven't even premiered on the premium tv channels.
