Does this have an EPG (Electronic Program Guide) where you can see what shows are currently airing?

I do not know about this set having an Electronic Program Guide. I doubt it. I did not keep this set very long. I exchanged it for the 32" Samsung which is simply a superior unit for reasons I explained in my review of the Sharp which I critiqued.

In my experience a program guide is a feature of your signal provider not the TV. I have cable so it's part of that.

Yes you will watch regular analog programs, just make sure you have an digital antennae to plug into analog box for channel programming when you set it up for channel search (auto program of channels).

I think you have to watch it online...I purchased it for a friend and she wound up having to send it back :(

You can buy a stand alone OTA DVR from other companies that do not require a subscription, and use the program guide direct from the TV stations. The guide will normally be only 4-12 hours into the future whereas Tivo will be a week or two. The OTA EPG guides can also have errors and many stations do not maintain them properly; many just show the name of the program and no other information, IF THAT. (The difference is quite noticeable.) Setting up recording is like an old VCR... you tell it channel number, time on and time off. It doesn't know repeats or if a showtime was changed, etc. With the Tivo, you can set up 'Season pass' where it will record the shows automatically, skip repeats and make adjustments for programming changes. It has very complete episode information and Tivo will 'learn what you like' then recommend shows for you. You get a lot for that $15 a month. I am currently using a standalone OTA DVR and I am considering going back to Tivo now that they have a better unit... it's worth it.

Yes. But watching via-online may be a problem as it does not have Flash Player. It's best to download the app through Google player

My Amazon Instant Video does have the My Watchlist that I see can have Movies and TV shows. I'm not sure how I can get to watch on my TV. I can watch on my computer!

If you're receiving digital signals through your antenna, there is a limited TV guide for each station. Unfortunately it is not as good as the guide that shows up with a cable company's DVR. Some stations only list programs up to a few hours beyond the time you access the guide while other stations guides go for up to 48 hours beyond the current time. Kind of frustrating for shows you want to record that are a few days or more out from your current time. You could access tvguide.com from your computer and write down the dates/times of those shows and manually program recording times for them on the DVR.

I've been using TVersity, so I'll definitely check out this PS3Media Server program. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes, there is youtube you can watch on your TV. There is xbmc if you know where to find the content. There are also live TV channels some of which are for kids. That I guess depends on which foreign channels you want. zaaptv jailbreak may also bring other cartoon network.

For those wondering, an EDTV is an "enhanced" definition television. It's probably a tube TV with a VGA input that can display up to 480p (instead of the standard 480i). Or 576p if it's PAL.

The latest software download at their web site does http://www.apricorn.com/products/software/ezgig.html . That is the one I downloaded and used.

You cannot search by typing in a title, but it shows you your Instant Queue, your Recently Viewed, as well as 15 or so other categories such as Comedies, Drama, Kids and Family, etc. Also, let's say that you recently watched Top Gun. It will say "Movies like: Top Gun" and then give several similar movies to Top Gun. That's a nice feature if you have, for example, a kid addicted to Thomas the Tank Engine. Watch one Thomas movie, and then it will group all of them together for you.

No. There are TV shows ( previous episodes not current) available to watch but you have to pay.

why don't you just go to those sites you're interested in watching and see if they have full episodes available? Hulu is blocked, tv.com (cbs) is blocked, SyFy is blocked, but history channel and FX are not. So far for me at least, the thing having a browser is a novelty at best because 1) everything you really actually want to see is blocked and 2)navigating to the site, then through the site to get where you want, clicking it, getting it full screen, etc. is just a pain.

Yes. The program you get from their website (free,) has a built in broadcast module. Just set it up, start playing and broadcasting in one go.
