I saw this while browsing my rss aggregator. Seems like a decent design
for a TV Guide. I was wondering how it would work if placed on one of
those really long interactive smile mit timelines.
Tee hee - an EPG that tells me about the *broadcasters* schedule - how quaint :)
Luckily I have an EPG that tells me about *my* schedule...
Although we watch a lot of TV (up to 2-3hrs/day) I don't think we've watched a
single show 'live' for about 3 years - and maybe just a handful of shows within
an hour of the broadcast time. And, come to think of it, it would have been that
'Strictly Come Dancing' cruft ;)
Interestingly, although you may question the channel/program aspect, I am well
aware of the channels we like - Hallmark, Sci-Fi, Five, Five US, BBC1+2, C4, Sky
One etc
I do wonder how useful a guide like that is when all you have in your sweaty
mitts is an infra-red remote control with left/right/up/down and enter...
Still, it's probably intended for Web use, not TV use.
That's another thought that sprang in (coffee must have been good this morning);
I don't think we've watched TV on a general purpose PC (ie in the study with
other gui windows visible) other than to edit out adverts to make DVDs...
Anyhow - that's offtopic enough... we can't be having that so... back to the
scheduled discussion ;)

PS A 1.2Tb PVR with diskless clients in the bedroom and TV room - sweet. I
seriously don't know how we'd manage to go back to 'normal' TV.
