Remember when you could look at a book, a guide, to see what was on and when? It never took more than a minute or two. Then came the TV channel with the slowly-scrolling list of channels (early 90s). Try figuring out today which shows will be available tomorrow at a particular time... and whether you have subscribed to that channel. Good luck. I don't think it is even possible anymore.

Eh, most cable companies now have a dedicated guide menu with manual scrolling and search features rather than a scrolling channel, I'd say that's one of the few things to have improved since old days
