Are you actually getting channel guide data? I bought one of those  
last week and I've been screwing around with it on one of my boxes  
(waiting on next paycheck before I build the real theatre system).  
Unfortunately, Comcast isn't sending out much in clearQAM, and what  
they do send has the channel designators all weird and I can't seem to  
find a way to get a real program guide
