>> why can't the site return selected time & date info to my converged TV/Internet Computer?

I'm guessing it can, John.

That leaves the Million Dollar Question to be asked by Gemstar investors:

Is this an area covered by gmst/tvgia patents?

So why can't the site return selected time & date info to my converged TV/Internet Computer?

JohnG,

Why not dream? With CDMA you'll soon be able to program your desired viewing selection online , via cellphone or in your car, and select whether to record or personally view the program. At the specified time either the TV, VCR or both will turn on by itself and switch to the correct channel. And the beauty of the whole thing is that every time you or anyone else does this QCOM and GMST stock will go up.

Aloha, Mike
