When you sign up, you tell the site which satellite/cable company you're with and which package or a la carte channels you receive. Then, anytime you log in from then on, your programming grid is right there for you. Of course, if Videotron did the programming guide for digi cable customers like me properly, I wouldn't even need zap2it. My issues with videotron's current setup are like this: -When you skip ahead to look at future programming using the ribbon at the bottom of the screen, it only lets you go about 24hrs or so into the future -When you use the full guide, it shows the listings for all the channels, regardless of whether you receive them or not. This means that scanning the programming for a given time can take far longer than it should, since I only get about 20% of the channels they offer. I like zap2it.com a lot.
