Hi all,

Thanks for all the suggestions for TV listing sites, I will check them all out. 
Peter, about the tables, the ones on most sites are not structured properly, 
meaning that JAWS reads different parts of the table in the wrong place. For 
example, it will give a list of times, then a list of programs, then a list of 
short summaries. Becomes extremely hard to follow.

Hi, www.mydigiguide.com is great. I've been subscribed to it for years. You 
can either have it in a table or list view.

You say about the table view not being very good with JAWs but have to say 
that able view on this page works very well if you use the CTRL+ALT+ arrow 
keys to navigate then just press enter on the program your interested in and 
a window pops up.

Peter
