In a word Scott "STINKS!!!!!!!!!!"

Their idea of a guide really sucks worse than the Cable TV version of the channel.

Just my opinion.

So how exactly is this really an "addition" when one considers that all DBS systems have their own built-in guide? What added value is this channel supposed to bring to the consumer?

What a waste.

 

[Mark_AR]

Talk about a useless waste of bandwidth.

If you consider a barker about soccer, PPV and HD a guide, then call it what it really is. A joke.

Usually a TV guide channel lists what is actually on every channel.

If I want to know whats on PPV, I'll watch 103 or 500
If I want to know what sports is on - Then 139 or 450
Anything else I can see on 101.

Someone kissed up to get this to fly and it wasn't any of the subscribers.

It needs to be put out of our misery and FAST!

Kill it charlie!

This channel has no purpose to ANY sane subscriber the way it is now. There is no channel information available hardly at all. It is mostly advertisements. You might as well call it another shopping channel.

 

[GaryPen]

Ummm. You guys know this is due to the agreement with Gemstar, right? The same agreement that will finally bring name-based recording, OTA program guide, and enhanced EPG info.
I can put up with one crap channel in exchange for all of that good stuff.

[Cyclone]

Yeah, its a non issue for me.

It did list Dish "Whats on in HD now" and it was ahead by an hour.

Amen.

I posted a similar rock in another TVG thread.

 

[Frank Jr.]

I don't think I will be watching the TVguide channel much. It is just another channel like all those shopping channels I don't watch. I don't know a soul who watches that stuff. There must be someone who does,somebody is paying for it. Hey Scott lets do a pole and see who actually does watch that mess.

 

[tonyp56]

Well, it would be a lot better if they had some information! Same thing goes for channel 101!! If it will make their guide better eventually, I'll live with it.

 

[GaryPen]

Amen.

I guess facts just don't enter into some of these threads. They just go on bitchin' and moanin' like we never posted anything.

Many years ago, I subscribed to the hard copy TV Guide, back before cable. I got cable and wrote a letter to TV Guide and ask when they were going to add cable to their guide.They replied that they did not see the need. I had moved on to C band by the time they added cable. They have always been five years behind the times and if it wan't for the lawsuit settlement, they would not be a part of satelite. The wasted part that they are. There are a lot better guide companies out there, unless TV Guide buys them all out.

 

[jlhugh]

To be honest I only have stopped on that channel for about 30 seconds. Don't really have a desire to set there and look at it. Just a waste of space. Hope E* got somethig else out of this deal.

 

[SpenceJT]

In case no body has hit on the subject...

"No compelling High Definition available..." and yet we get this? I ask you Charlie... is this channel "compelling"?!

I mean call me stupid, but I see nothing compelling about this sorry waste of bandwidth! Hell, I'd rather watch the Bingo Channel over this dreg! At least you get to lay eyes on compelling hosts!

So how are you liking our latest new channel addition "The TV Guide Channel"?

You must mean the TV Comercial channel
I took a gander at it last night. Looks like all comercials, all the time. I hope TV Guide is paying Dish to include their channel and not vice versa.
