Hi Amber,
I found the recent changes to Zap2It.com unbearable. I have been searching
around for a new TV listings as well. I really like TitanTV.com at:
http://www.titantv.com/ttv/Grid/grid.aspx
It is very customizable and presents the listings grid within a true HTML
table! This allows you to quickly move through the grid with table
navigation keys. As long as you do not mind holding down the Alt + Control
or the Windows key, you can efficiently move from show to the next show or
through the channels with the arrow keys! I now set the grid to show the
full 6 hours and do not have any confusion about a program's start time. It
also lets you set the font, font size (up to 20 point), and what information
you want in the grid. You will need to set up a free account, and provide
your zip code and provider. It will use cookies to provide your
personalized grid each time you return. I create a favorite of this site
and place a copy of this favorite on my desktop with a hotkey set to make it
easy to see what's on TV.
The site is oriented to controlling just about any PC Tuner card or adapter
to view or record the show on your computer. It looks so easy and
accessible, it makes me want to get a TV Tuner USB adapter!
On another note, I understand that Yahoo and possibly AOL include the DVS
designation in their grids to indicate shows that have Described Video
Service available on the TV's SAP sub channel. I am not sure how this will
work next month after the switch to digital, since SAP is analog. I have
Direct TV and it sounds like this service for the blind and visually
impaired is only available on the more advanced HD / DVR receivers! How
ironic! Or possibly moronic!
