Where do people find out about upcoming shows?
Not trying to sound like a wiseguy, but I'm serious.
Where, and/or how, do people find out what shows are coming up in the next week or so, to watch and/or record? Some use TiVos, I still use a VCR. Newspapers are dying off, so Sunday weekly listings are more rarely read. The TV Guide of old is gone, and I don't see the new one around here anymore. I'm pretty sure that most people don't run to their computers and do searches for new shows or network schedules. I mean, I do, but my ass is welded to my PC chair anyhow.:D Do most people just plop down in front of the TV and watch the least offensive show that happens to be on? I refuse to do that, personally. How do you manage this? |
Well, since the analog TV guide data that ran my HD DVR went bye-bye, I use the guide on my Dish network box to figure out if there's anything over-the-air I want in HD. That's goood for 8 days in advance. Have not signed up for Dish HD service yet. All the other stuff I want from the Science channel or etc., I record on the Dish PVR and/or on DVD if I want it permanently. I also subscribe to the local PBS station, so I get their monthly paper guide. And I do occasionally look for program guides for particular channels (History Channel, etc.) online.
So, yeah, TV Guide originally had access to my eyeballs, but they have totally blown it. I assume they still are on cable, but I use cable only for the internet. |
