Online TV guides

Hi,

I'm trying to find a new online TV guide. (Please don't offer Netflix, etc as an option -- I don't want to go there)

Anyway, I used to use zap2it.com, but they 'improved' their sit. I think they are aiming at mobile users. In the process, they took out many of my favorite options -- 6 hour grids, changeable channel lineups, etc.

I tried TVGuide -- and it looked marginally acceptable -- except that it won't remember my settings. I login, and I've loosened my security for them, but every day is a new start.

So, if anyone knows of something a little more flexible, please let me know. I actually watch very little, and it's usually some obscure show that I happen across while searching the channels. I really used to like zap2it, because I could scan through in a short time. Oh well,

Thanks in advance for any input,

hj

Is this helpful at all: TitanTV ?

Naturally that link is regional to my ZIP code but it can be configured to your area.

Will wonders never cease?

I was checking out tv.yahoo.com -- guess what.

They're using the old style zap2it interface. I logged in, and everything was there.

tvtitan is still a good deal, but they do get me in one area. f I try to set it for more than the default 3 hour display, it acts up. The grid starts out fine, but then it keeps shrinking toward the left side until it's basically unreadable. Happens on 2 computers, but maybe it's me.

Anyway, if anybody's interested in the old zap2it, that's where it is now. (Note to yahoo -- please don't update!)

Maybe try toggling the "full width" option in display? I just tried all the way out to 6 hours and it does "shrink" to fit all the info into available screen resolution.
