3 edits | Ads in my i-guide
Comcast just put the ads into the i-guide in Savannah a few minutes ago . I can't really see the point  , but strangely, I like how the guide looks with it  . I guess I'm a bit wierd because of it. The ads add more color lol.(making the guide a little more appealing in my mind)
It actually makes the guide look more interactive lol.
I just looked at it again, and somewhat revert my statement  . Maybe they would look better if they took up the whole bottom portion of the channel guide. lol
Also, I did some in-guide investigation, and they only appear in the traditional guide(listing by time). Not any other search methods.
Anybody know why they suddenly decided to reinstate these ads. |

My area can also relate, except for the NFL NetHD thing. Normally games are shown on INHD, but no full time channel. I think the games in HD are good enough for our HDTV owners with C-Cast. |

said by oblivian :Now each page of the guide shows less channels. How annoying! I have mines on double height so mines still displays five cells.
Obviously I can't count  , I had 4 cells. I'll keep it at double b/c the single height cells are too small for me. I wish they saved this for VRN guide or something |

I had mine set to double height and it went to only showing 4 channels at a time now that there is a big old add at the bottom. I just switched it to single height and now I have 5 channels per page. But I still think it sucks. |

I just noticed this today and, personally, I think it sucks. I don't pay too much money each month for them to display an ad everytime I look at the guide. The worst part is that it is highlighted each time you scroll manually through the listings.
They really are doing their best to piss me off.... |

This just plain sucks! It takes up a cell for a channel listing, and it actually highlights everytime you scroll through the guide. This has got to go. WTF would they put a add to watch discovery??? if i wanna watch discovery, ill scroll through the guide till i get there, then i can at least see what is on that channel. At least give us the option to disable this. |

Which adds do you guys have so far? i count 3 here in chicago.
Discovery Health
Animal Planet
Search something or the other
why put those in there? if customers wanna watch those channels wouldnt they just go to that channel in the guide listing? I can only imagine that this is a precursor for other kinds of adds. |

1 edit | I'm getting those as well. I don't understand the "Search" ad.. it's pretty dumb.
Oh wait.. they just changed! Parental controls, Travel channel, and History channel. |
