Can anyone tell me, is there another website like [TVGuide.com](http://TVGuide.com)? Ever since they changed their layout the listings are never accurate. Complaints don’t seem to have any effect.

TIA  
Jim

If you ever wonder what the state of the art is for annoying popups, go to [tvguide.com](http://tvguide.com).

I have been using [zap2it.com](http://zap2it.com). The couple whines I have with them are, 1) They don’t include the actors in their movie listings (you see them only after clicking the movie name), 2) their font is too small (so I usually set the text size larger on my IE). Other than that, no problemo. Oh, one other thing, I wish they would have “borrowed” [tvguide.com](http://tvguide.com)’s color scheme for their listing cells, it takes awhile to get used to a different layout.

[http://tv.yahoo.com/](http://tv.yahoo.com/) is pretty basic but good. I still go to TV guide though a lot, and wow as ccwaterback said they’re on the cutting edge of annoying browser tricks. The drop-down ads if you move your mouse to the wrong area are the worst.

Although it is UK based Digiguide [www.digiguide.com](http://www.digiguide.com) does have a version for the US. It is subscription based but , in my opinion , is worth every penny.
