It's called TVG Humanist. Again, if you want it, just message me.

In "the-sky-is-falling-TV Guide-has-no-guide" news, there's an interesting note at the bottom of this document.
Sounds like TV Guide has a LOT of extra guide computers! I wonder what they're doing with them. If I lived in Tulsa, I would run and check the dumpsters over at 7140 S. Lewis Avenue

Fittingly, TV Guide has rolled out a new slogan, summarizing the problems with their network. "ALL TV. NO GUIDE." Dumbasses.

Nice finds. You always have a way of finding the most interesting stuff!

They really hit a new low with that slogan. Might as well go ahead and change their name to "Faulty And Ill-fated LLC." I just can't see TVGN lasting for too much longer without the core factor that got them started up in the first place. Especially with all that generic programming they air.

LOLOLOL that really is ridiculously funny!! ALL TV NO GUIDE? what?!

I'm afraid its the "MTV Effect" all over again.

Yeah, and they're currently doing really well aren't they

This one is kind of cool, if you're interested in Prevue Interactive as I am.

We never had Prevue Interactive. To me, when they say "digital cable is the best thing since color", that is misleading since there is no more errors, which was the main reason I watched the Prevue Channel.

That brought back a vague memory, when we first got digital cable from TCI Cablevision of Tulsa circa 1998...

OMG! This so brings me Back! i remember when the music channels were info only. the only way you could listen to it was to watch nothing but a black screen. and it used to be called DMX. Comcast had these boxes. just about every cable box that was known as General Instruments (Common Set top box for 1997.) until 2002 Started getting Motorola. by 2005 it became a problem when the HD DVRs were first released. and both HD And SD boxes mostly from 2007 had problems freezing and restarting. we had this box called PACE (a bad brand for Comcast in 2010.) today its Still used as the i-guide. at least there's a setting on the boxes where you can change it to the classic black color which i leave it on. unfortunately Prevue did not show on the corner before the Comcast logo did on the boxes or on the screen so it was left over as the same action, TV Guide. analog discontinued on their Motorola boxes by early 2008. DTA was nothing but a Converter Box for Basic Cable.

I still have the VHS tape that Charter gave to it's subscribers for upgrading to Digital Cable from Analog Cable. If anybody wants me to I could post it on YouTube. Just bear with me it'll be sometime before I can do it.
