Don't know what to tell you...  with my ZyXEL, I'm first presented by a menu 
that can best be described as "how do you want to organize?"  Date, program 
name, program channel, genere, and a few others I can't remember off the top 
of my head.  Normally I go by date, then select the date, then it shows 
everything (regardless of group, so live TV included) on that date.

So I'd *guess* that's a device problem rather than a generic UPnP problem, 
unfortunately.  (Or maybe myth is sending something your box doesn't like, 
and mine blows off.)

I guess not having used WizD I don't know what I'm missing.  About the only 
thing I really find missing from UPnP in my experience is the ability to 
view LiveTV.  I have already far too many ways to 'slice up' the list of 
recordings that are presented via UPnP.
