Before they “upgraded” to Yahoo! TV Beta, my bookmark for checking TV schedules was Yahoo!'s. Nowadays, I use TVPlanner which seems to have decent enough functionality. Then there’s Zap2it which is slightly less suitable for my tastes.
The best thing about the old Yahoo! listings was that you could click on a time slot and get details of that program into the future, with other channels and times.
Do you have a preferred listings site that’s like the old Yahoo! one?
This is one case where I feel Yahoo! is losing the edge it used to have for me.
It’s still in “BETA”, but looks to have some potential. It’s not overly glitzy (or glitchy, for that matter).
Couldn’t agree more with OP regarding Yahoo! It all started with their “new” e-mail interface, and they obviously then sent in the same crew to screw over the TV Listings. Form takes precedence over substance… self-indulgent programming and coding. They seem determined to become the anti-Google.
