Joel, I haven't seen the IPG so maybe Stew can help us out. Even so ... Please correct me if I am wrong but isn't Gemstar going to an interactive program guide in the near future which will allow the end user to input data or did I miss something. As I understand it, the Guide will use point and click technologies that manipulate an existing database. If a Guide will allow us to manipulate the database by inputting "Elvis" and "Twiggy" as search criteria rather than scrolling through a list of actors to highlight them, you are right that it will allow a user's input. In that event the strength of the app is mightier than I would otherwise believe. Can anyone confirm which method(s) will be available? --Mike Buckley
