kudos:1 | No thanks there are better alternatives out there:
- Browsing any tv listing site if your phone has a decent internet browser.
- Most DVR's will record shows based on preference.
- I can actually look at the tv listings when I'm done watching a show to see if there is something worth catching later on. *gasp*

it would be a neat little feature if it came free with your data plan. It makes no sense to charge for something that will barely ever be used | |

| | | Your kidding right? This is front page news at BBR?
Everyone knows this is crap. "For the 'on the go' individual that needs to see if dancing with the has beens is time-slot conflicting with Monday Night Wrestling". What a waste of brain cells.
May I suggest an in-depth analysis about a future broadband policy!
