Well, I'm about to do my part for the cause. MediaOne in my area is now offering a digital service that will include the TV Guide version of the EPG. The brochure features it prominently as one of the benefits of the service. FWIW, the graphic they use to illustrate the guide was not very impressive, although it didn't look to be captured directly off the screen. I've always thought that the Gemstar guides on display on TV's in the store looked awesome. Does anyone know if after the merger they're going to converge on one format?
