This small egg shaped piece of hardware interfaces with a terrific PC TV guide program called Electronic TV Host . ETV a downloadable television guide for your personal computer. Some 200 different search commands allow the user to filter through more than 15,000 weekly programs.
Users can search by program title, actor, station, movie genre, rating, category, sport or keyword.
ETV covers all local and cable channels in the top 100 U.S. markets, and all DDS, Primestar and C-band satellite programming. I've personally been using ETV for about a year now and absolutely love it. Using ETV, you mark the TV shows that you want to view or tape.
