If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
I used to use Yahoo! TV for my TV listings, but since they switched to focus less on listings and more on TV show news, along with a complete redesign of their listings, I've been really annoyed with it. I tried using TV Guide, but still ran into issues that annoyed me (as well as inaccurate listings). And while when I finally move to digital cable next year when everybody in Bend will be forced to do so, I'll get a fancy channel listing thing, until that point, channel 8 (TV Guide Channel) drives me batty waiting for channels when they spend a bunch of time plugging channels I don't receive.
Then today I found my new preferred listings service: at Couchville. Simple, clean, fast, and customizable. Sweet. Now if I could remember where I got the site from so I could thank them....
