I have a basic schedule of things I watch on certain days of the week so in general I already know what I'm watching. I use the remote guide something and I use Yahoo TV Guide as well. If there is a rerun on of something I've already seen or taped, then I search to find something else to watch.

TV Guide Channel.

Brent88 · 01-01-2004, 11:10 PM

Internet TV listings and TV Guide. That's only for episode details or special programming though, really.

PZelda · 01-01-2004, 11:29 PM

TVGuide.com, tv.yahoo.com and www.tv-now.com.

I already know when my shows come on. That's plenty of tv already.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 01-01-2004, 11:38 PM

I have digital tv so I just push the button to find out what's on, but I only have to do that when I'm bored and there's nothing I like on...because things I like I already know what time they're on.

~Teddybear~ · 01-02-2004, 12:18 AM

I use the satellite tv guide(the kind where u can see wuts on another channel without actually changing the channel). Surfing channels is so out.

Microprosa · 01-02-2004, 01:40 AM

Sometimes with a TV guide, sometimes with the Digital Program Guide.

dandelion wine · 01-02-2004, 02:34 AM

I have DirecTV so I scroll through the channels or I'll go to www.tv-now.com .

mcgwirefan · 01-02-2004, 03:15 PM

channel surfing mostly, but also TV section of the paper.

Moonlight Lady · 01-02-2004, 03:19 PM
