Awesome new version of WebGuide for Vista Media Center
I've been using WebGuide with Media Center since the initial version, and Doug Berrett has always done a terrific job with it. But with the newest version, WebGuide 4, he's completely outdone himself. It's brilliant. Works great with Vista, has a terrific interface, and it supports on-the-fly transcoding and streaming of recorded and live TV, so I can watch shows from anywhere. He even has a mobile interface that makes it a piece of cake to schedule and watch recordings from a Smartphone. Definitely worth checking out.

This is a pretty awesome program, but how do they get access to the guide data? I thought that wasn't available to third party developers?Anonymous

It's not part of the public and documented SDK, but if you don't mind taking a dependency on undocumented and "internal" APIs, they do exist. Before doing something like this, make sure you read the EULA. This isn't exactly the same topic, but see http://blog.retrosight.com/PermaLink,guid,c9b29620-da39-4ed2-aed5-da4eb22542a2.aspx for more info.Anonymous

Not sure if you realized this Stephen . . . but Microsoft owns this software. http://www.asciiexpress.com/webguide/forums/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=1754
