What I mean is, you give it your zipcode and it downloads a list of channels it thinks you should be able to get. You can only get the Guide for those channels. You can have it scan for more channels, but you don't get a guide for them. You can lock out channels you don't get, but that's inconvenient. What it should do is scan for the channels you can actually get and then say, "Oh you get this channel so I'll get you the guide for it." It can do it by call letters. Also, TV channels already send their TV Guide in the broadcast signal. My Kitchen TV picks it up. WMC should be able to read that and display that guide. There's no need to download a guide off the web. Believe it or not, but there are some people who still don't or can't get internet. <br /> <br />Also, there's s-video inputs on my PC but no way to set WMC to view or record off them.
