have you ever been on a channel and been contemplating whether or not to go to the TV guide channel to see what the name of the movie or whatever is your watching, and then so you go there and then like you just missed it, so you have to wait flippin' 10 minutes for it to scroll back down again?

whoa anyone?

I used to have that problem, but then the cable company decided that the only service they would be offering in our area was digital cable, which has a built-in guide thingy, instead of a channel. It's also more expensive, and the only difference is that there's more channels with crap on. :dozey:

yeah my friends have that

i guess im just behind the times

I'd go back to basic cable if I could. :P

I'd like to have cable

And I'd like to live in the US and know what you guys are talking about

You aren't missing much.

We've got digital cable

 

It used to be great, but the company (NTL) decided to change the way it works a few months ago. So now it's really slow and shit.

 

But then I don't think I could go back to normal cable or terrestrial TV. It was only when we got digital that I began to wonder how I ever managed without the on-screen TV guide. And without digital I can't watch MTV2 or BBC 3. :P :D

 

Besides, everyone will need digital TV in ten years or so, because all analog transmitters will be turned off (in this country they will, anyway)

You aren't missing much.

wrong

thom you are missing so much

i'm sure they have cable down there man

its like super tv :cool:

Thom and me are losers for not having that super tv :dozey:

I have digital TV, crazy shiat.

 

You just hit Select and the channel will come up on the bottom of the screen and the name of the show your watching and whats on for the next 12 hours. Sweet.
