IMHO the greatest thing that has happened to TV is the XFinity app on my iPad and Android Tablet. It now takes me only seconds to determine there is nothing worth watching, where I used to have to flip through 60+ channels one by one to find out the same thing. Better still I can do this without even turning the TV on, and see there is nothing worthwhile on for the next two hours as well.
