TV listings missing from revamped television guide
<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->

I WAS shocked when I received my June issue of StarHub Cable Vision's (SCV) television guide, Telescope, and found the monthly TV listings had been totally removed.
The editorial excuse was that the guide had undergone a revamp and the format was changed, which is fine, but not the total removal of the TV listings.
Yes, I know we can access the listings online and from the TV itself. However, it is extremely inconvenient and time-consuming to do so.
Surfing through 30 plus channels individually, then locking into each programme for its synopsis, and then noting down the schedules for each desired programme is nightmarish.
Additionally, such listings are limited to five days, without any indication of 'repeats'.
In the past, I just had to refer to two pages of TV listings and decide my cable menu for the day.
The core of any TV guide must surely be its TV listings.
Can StarHub consider reinstating it for the convenience of longtime users like myself?
