EPG at last!

Tuesday, November 20. 2007

Another night with nothin' on telly. In a last ditch attempt to magically conjure up something watchable we turned to the EPG (Electronic Program Guide). To our amazement it actually worked! It's always been a source of frustration that the stations weren't forced to provide this information, making your epg functionality worthless. Instead they expected you to watch their annoying ad overlayed guide channel. A quick google reveals they have finally caved in to the public pressure and as of yesterday (19/11/2007) Ten and Nine have started publishing their guides, free and unencrypted. Seven say they will come on board starting next year.

BTW, there is still nothing worth watching. Looks like another Northern Exposure night
