Some boxes are a TV Guide solution, and others might have the ubiquitous TMS service.

For what it's worth, our TMS-supplied guide data has never changed...though EE does show every Wednesday now. It's really wrecked...First Outlook, YWT, WeatherCenter in 3 hour increments (except for EE 9-10 on Wed.), The Weather Classroom. Last updated 2001, I'd think. The Zap2It guide (also a TMS supplied service) is current with long-form shows. (It does have the old logo for the channel logo, though.)

With EE exiting stage left on Sunday, it'll be really out of whack.

My Motorola box uses TV Guide. I have no idea what guide my SA box uses (it has a different, plainer interface). On TWC, my SA just says "Weather Channel" all day. My Motorola shows the actual show titles.

I long for the days of my old SA cable box. The Motorola cable boxes and the TV Guide listings are not dependable. The listings on the SA box were almost always accurate.

I just saw a Weather Center preview with Abrams and Bettes. Only thing basically changing in the graphics is the logo, otherwise, I think they're still using the same graphics. From what I can tell by the preview.

Yes, that's true. The formula of the show also looks to be reverting to something like it was in 2006 with all the special features and whatnot.

Grr they took the good shows out!   :club:

However after seeing this http://www.weather.com/tv/schedule/?from=secondarynav#weekly, i feel better.  However, I have that feeling they didn't update this yet.

Hopefully the TVG screwed up.





There should be a like button on this forum, just like Facebook.

unfortunately I think it is the TWC page that is screwed up, like you said, I have a feeling they didn't update it. I don't like it either, EE and A&B were great shows...even if A&B was getting poor ratings why make such  a drastic change?

As someone who is forced into watching WO (which still cuts off the K FWIW), this will be a MUCH needed facelift for my morning.

/7AM work call sucks.
