Local TV Listings

I finally understand why TV Guide has been screwed up for the last couple of weeks. Bill Bumgartner referred to Zap 2 It some time ago and I finally got around to trying it out. For our area, Adelphia has 8 separate listings and channel lineups. Ain't consolidation grand? After the third attempt, I finally got a channel line up that looked right. I believe the Agoura (rebuild) and Newbury Park (rebuild) listings are the same, but I'm not entirely certain.

By the way, I really like the way that Zap 2 It allows you to confirm the listings. It brings up the first hundred stations in a simple list and offers a yes/no type confirmation system. That's quite a bit easier than the system used by its competitors.

For TV Guide, it looks like Camarillo is the proper selection. So, after much fussing around, Watson is once again a good way to check listing for use with the EyeTV. Given the current track record, things will be broken again in about 60 days.
