DirecTV's EPG. Second attachment is the mini-guide.

Mine looks like this (except with a Comcast logo of course):

It's not that customizable; you only have like six color schemes to choose from. I know the Motorola here at my dad's has a lot more options in addition to more color schemes - such as how many rows of data you want in the guide, where in the screen you want the miniguide in, etc.

All Bright House STBs have that guide.

Out of question, does anybody know when there will be some updates to the Comcast DCT2000? When I ran the operator diagnostics, it said it was running the June 2005 Firmware (Or something like that)... I want something thats actually not to hideous to look at... if you know what I mean. And to think that Comcast HD is good... Look at Cox! lol

I have a feeling firmware updates have been out, but it's up to comcast if they want to put the time forth to pick a firmware release and customize it for a rollout.

Comcast owns the rights to their "iGuide." Any other cable co that uses that guide actually pays Comcast royalty fees. As far as it not being updated since 2005, that's actually not true (don't get me wrong, it's still shitty). Updates come out, however it can take years for some places to see the updates (and some areas never see them) since they're rolled out on a market-by-market/headend-by-headend basis, and not all areas have the capability to run the new updates.

I will post pictures of my beloved  FiOS guide later on

I've seen some pics of the FiOS program guide. I nearly drooled. It rendered my guide obsolete. I wish the Comcast HD guide would look like it.

*I* can't wait for CableCard tuners for the PC...

I thought some were selling?
New ones that aren't technically illegal...

Silicondust makes network TV tuners and they are making a three-tuner.  Big fan on Media Center on Windows 7.
