Unlike my experiences at CES, people actually attend sessions at The Cable Show. Maybe it’s because of the cool new demos. Yesterday at Leslie Ellis’s tru2way panel, Time Warner Cable previewed its concept Symphony guide, an EPG with slick graphics and interactive features. Unfortunately, the video above doesn’t do it justice. The lighting in the room wasn’t great, and I was trying to take photos at the same time, but it does give you the gist. I love what Time Warner is calling the “viewing cart”. You can put videos there and come back to them later. You’ll also see telescoping ads in the demo here, widgets and detailed content info. Truthfully, it’s not unlike Verizon’s guide. There’s definitely a trend underway to improve EPGs.
