Does anyone know of a similar site? Now when you go to ClickTV, you are automatically sent to Zap2it. I can't stand that place. It is slow to load, and hard to navigate. Why do all good things have to end?????

It's sad now, becuase TVGuide.com is the most reliable now.

Pavanbadal...thanks for the info. I guess I will have to settle for TV Guide.

I find Zap2it to be a real pain in the rear. I love to watch Christmas shows, and I loved how at ClickTV I could just do a search for "Christmas" and all the shows would appear, then I could put them in my reminder. I don't even see a place at Zap that I can do that. What a waste!

I found gist.com through our local paper. Between TV Guide & Gist, I can more or less find what I am looking for. It is much more work than with Click TV, but nowhere the trouble as Zap2it is.

I guess I am old & cranky. I don't like changes....especially when the old was working fine and dandy!!

Nothing is wrong with TV Guide, but I just prefer ClickTV myself. I found it easier to do a search, and print off what I want to see. Maybe TV Guide has all these features, but so far, I haven't been able to find them. I can get it to print a list, but if I do a search for shows with the word "Christmas," then I get them all on the list, not just the ones I want to watch.

Click TV was just soooooo easy. It really worked for me. GistTV will basically do the same thing, but it is in calender form. If you haven't ever used ClickTV, you can't imagine just how many options the site had and how darn easy they were to use.

The SAME features are at zap2it.com's new (still SLIGHTLY under construction) television listings which, I believe, offer almost exactly the same type of features as Click TV did.

PPatters...thanks for the info. Another problem I had with Zap2it, was that every name I selected came back as already taken. They emailed me and said they were having trouble, but for whatever reason, the site also took forever to load on my computer. Click TV(and others) have never been that way.

But it will be interesting to see what new features they are adding. I am just SAD that ClickTV is gone. But considering what is going on in the world today, I guess I should be glad that I am alive and able to sit at my computer and do as I please!

I loved Clicktv. They were the ONLY ones (and still are the only ones) who had the listings for my county's digital cable.

First TV Grid, Now This! I Don't Like the Gist Listings, It Won't Work For Some Reason. Everytime I Click Something It Goes to My First Search!

King31...I know what you mean. We have a satellite dish, and at ClickTV, I was able to bounce back and forth between cable(where I found our local listings)& satellite listings. It was really easy.

Sean...I also have a tough time navigating around at Gist.

Guys, clicktv still lives, as far as it's listings software engine.
http://mytvtaxi.com uses the clicktv listings and search. Things are arranged a little differently, but at the core, it's still the clicktv software. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

THANK YOU KING!!!!!!

I loved ClickTV and I am THRILLED to find tvtaxi. I wish it had the "remind me" feature like ClickTV did(or maybe it does and I can't find it!) so I could make my own list, but what tvtaxi has will do just fine!

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif
