The Next Window

Several years ago, I found an online television schedule website <a href="http://www.thenextwindow.com/exit.php?url_id=546&amp;entry_id=90" title="http://www.zap2it.com" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.zap2it.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;">Zap2It</a> that was so complete and so easy to use that I immediately became a regular user. The site has a lot of additional content, but my real interest was the TV lisings. My subscription to my local cable schedule magazine started to become unused paper on the table.<br />
<br />
Today, that same site provides the show data used by the <a href="http://www.thenextwindow.com/exit.php?url_id=547&amp;entry_id=90" title="http://www.sagetv.com" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.sagetv.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;">SageTV</a> software on my <a href="http://www.thenextwindow.com/exit.php?url_id=548&amp;entry_id=90" title="http://www.terrystockdale.com/htpc/htpc_1.shtml" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.terrystockdale.com/htpc/htpc_1.shtml';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;">home theater PC</a>. I'd almost forgotten about the website but just looked at it again.<br />
<br />
You can use the service without creating an account (free), but that gives you limited functionality. Each time you go to the site, you would have to enter your zip code, pick your TV system (cable, digital cable, broadcast, satellite, etc).<br />
<br />
If you create a free account, the system will remember your settings and your preferences. These include your TV system and other choices. As an example, since I use a cable modem, I prefer to show "all stations" and not just 20 at a time. <br />
