In the US, there is a nice web-site called Zap2It.com that can be customized to show the channels you want. It carries nice descriptions with photos upon clicking on the show in the grid.
I wonder if a Firefox plugin and/or an MP plugin could be developed which would display that web-site or others like it and intercept certain mouse clicks and cause MP to tune to or record that channel, in a fashion similar to the standard EPG.
The standard zap2it web-site would work best with a mouse, but they may have a mobile version that would work better with touch or a remote.
I understand that zap2it's parent company is the major supplier of guide information in the US, and they supply microsoft among others.
