K-mart is fresh outta stock of ALL DTV receivers (DTVPal, Magnavox, and Zenith) AND antennas. and all the CRT-based DTVs too. they're really swamped.

I'll have to check Sears.

Vizio doesn't have TV Guide On Screen built in. For a list of HDTV sets with TVGOS built in here is a link Over-the-Air Antenna at this link click on the download product list.

TonyT,
Click on the Over-the-Air-Antenna link in my previous post. When you are in the Macrovision page click on the download product list link 2/3rds down the page on the left. it will download a pdf page. A little information is at the top of that pdf page. Maybe cowboyup4christ can post some screen shots of his functioning TVGOS. More information here Guide Plus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hope this answers your question.

It offers interactive on-screen program listings that enable viewers to navigate, sort, select, and schedule television programming for viewing and recording.

interactive? and this is OTA? is a signal actually sent from your box to where ever to access information?

But I don't believe the Zenith is compatible with the TVGOS.
