Comment Personalized TV Guide + Universal Remote for Palm (Score 2, Interesting) 234

ConnectedTV turns your Palm into a univeral remote control with an integrated TV guide, which you can easily personalized for your own preferences. But old-fashioned universal remotes are much more difficult to use, because they require you to use a separate TV guide, and laboriously enter channel numbers by pressing numerous digits.

ConnectedTV is much quicker and easier to use than an old-fashioned "unguided" universal remote, because you can easily browse just the shows you like, and quickly "touch tune" the channel by simply touching the name of a show, like speed dialing a phone.

Satellite TV and digital cable have hundreds of channels, however their on-screen scrolling guides are slow, full of unwanted shows and obnoxious advertisements, and difficult to use. But ConnectedTV saves time and effort, because you never have to think about or enter hundreds of channel numbers, and it filters out all the junk you're not interested in watching. And you can take your Palm with you anywhere, and browse the guide any time you like!

If you already have a Palm, it's much cheaper to subscribe to ConnectedTV than to buy yet another specialized remote control device. If you don't already have a Palm, ConnectedTV is a great reason to get one!
