Rovi sucks, simple as that.
Why watch through a PC, to be able to record shows. With a dual tuner card I can record 2 shows at once, set up a schedule, keep as many as I have hard drive space for, etc. I like to record shows just so I can fast forward through the stupid commercials.
I've been all over the boards for WMC, MS tech net, and many others. Everyone agrees, Rovi EPG just sucks.
I had 51 channels in the Zap2it EPG, dropped to 32 on Rovi. I lost channels from towers only 26 miles from my house. All because someone at Rovi didn't think they should be available in my zip code.
I will be trying to add them back manually, but it's not easy. We will see if the EPG will download data for manually added channels.
EPG's should separate out the signal/channel scanning from the guide part and not depend on your zip code. If the tuner picks it up, it should download the guide for it. That's how it "should" work, (and did for Zap2it). Apparently no one has told Rovi that!
