I too have got rid of my Skybox and using the sat dish and connection direct into my Sony Bravia. The way I use the TV guide now is to have an internet connection and select 'Guide' on remote, press 'Options', then scroll up to 'Launch Guide and Search'. Once this is selected a full program guide is displayed, it will give you all details of each program, cast/crew, related programmes and videos, option to record etc. This is powered through Gracenote and makes it a fully interactive EPG.

Hope this helps
