  • Ha

    Did you really waste the time counting exactly how many adverts there were? Obviously TV is even worse than I thought these days :confused:

    Jees this board isn't any longer a "consumer vent" one at all - more a "vent and then get shot down by the we don't make mistakes brigade" board!

    What a load of pants replies.... OP I understand what you mean and I would be angry too - although I just use the tv guide on sky - I watch enough of their advertising so make good use of their advertisment-free tv guide!

    I havent bought the over priced Radio Times for years, IF I buy a tv paper I just get the cheapest - usually 35p or so! My two week Xmas guide mag has cost 80p (TVeasy).
  • But the danger of that is you may get seen buying the daily mail...

    Best to wrap it in a copy of Perverts Monthly.

    EPG = Electronic Program Guide

    that thing that pops up when you change channel on SKY or Virgin. You can also look at the next weeks worth of programs i think
