When they tried to include too many cable channels, it became too cumbersome to use. The only grid style I have ever liked was the Washington Post style where each channel could be read from top to bottom. An asterisk in the listing could direct people to a more detailed listing page with cast lists, etc. I know, ship sailed, never coming back, etc. The EPG on our TV doesn't go more than 36 hours in advance, so how can you plan the week's viewing with that?
