The TV Listings Saga Continues

Today, it looks like tvguide.com unveiled a major revamp to their Web site ... but as a result, Watson had to play catch-up again.

Alas, this change in their site affected some functionality of the Watson tool. Now, users need to establish a free account on TVGuide.com, as if they were viewing the listings through their web browser. (Of course, the listings look like $#$#$#%$#@$ with Safari, but OK on Internet Explorer. But I digress.)

Then, in the Watson TV Listings tool, just set the e-mail address you used with TVGuide.com. Functionality is restored!

(Actually, the VCR Plus code listing had to go, but now we get to see whether a show is Closed-Captioned by a [CC] in the detail window.)
