I hear ya.  Today I enabled EIT on the stations I use (all digital OTA).  
Within a few minutes it actually corrected that Fox lineup and changed Drive 
to Standoff.  While I was pretty impressed with that, I was very 
disappointed at the lack of data I got from that EIT update.  Pretty much 
all it has is the program name (Drive), the time and duration, and a 
description.  While I wasn't surprized that it didn't have any indication of 
whether or not it's new (which it is) such as an original air date etc, or 
any indication of it being HD, I was really disappointed to see that it 
didn't even get the episode title...that's just aweful.  If that's typical 
of EIT data I'd certainly hate to rely on it.

Godspeed to easytvdata indeed...

Tom
