I was wondering what kinda difficulty would be involved in building a browser plug-in so that you could go to tv-guide.com and right click on a show and then have the correct recording info sent to snapstream...tv-guide has every listing for every cable system and sattelite in the US.they use standard html for there listing it looks like so, it would have to parse the html some way that it could find what time that show should be scheduled...this is beyond my knowledge, but doesn't seem like it would be too hard

this would be so awesome if it could be made. I am also looking for a way of capturing epg into a text file or something.

GuideScraper has been created that already scapes TV Guide and then posts puts it in a comma deliniated format in a text file.
