Before you choose
Keep the original TV Time export you already saved. Import availability depends on the destination, plan and file format; an advertised importer does not guarantee every date, review or episode will transfer.
Moving to Moviebase? Check the import options in your installed version and retain your source file. More import options are planned; do not assume a future format is already available.
Moving your history to Moviebase? Check the source and file format supported in your installed version. More imports are planned; availability can differ by platform.

Questions
Can I still start using the original TV Time?
The original TV Time service has closed and its official site displays a farewell. It is not a current download recommendation.
Can I recover history without a saved export?
Do not assume a closed service can provide a new export. Look for files you saved previously and keep them unchanged while checking destination support.
