<<At Circuit City the salesman told me he couldn't get the guide on his TV to work at all.>> grrrrr... don't get me started. :( Last year the salesman at MY Circuit City (central NJ) went on and on about the Guide+ system, how wonderful it was, why it was a great reason to get the fancy 32" ProScan I was looking at, etc. Well, I get the tv home, set it up, and try to use the guide. Nothing. try again. Nothing. Finally, after several tries and increasing frustration and anger, I get Circuit City on the phone and am told, "oh, Guide+ doesn't work in your area. Didn't the salesman mention that?" I swear, I could have thrown the phone across the room... Let's just say that the first several times I heard Gemstar touted on this thread I dismissed it completely. It was only after I read the 6/23/99 Stephens report that I began to put my own experience aside and let myself be convinced by Stew's and Mike's enthusiasm... tekboy@nextyou'lltellmetoinvestin@$!&*RCN.com
