For me, everything works.

No idea. I hardly use the guide at all and I don't know if I've ever  
used it on the Apple TV.

MPG2 OTA US signals. I use XvMC for playback. I'm still working on  
getting H264 with my HD-PVR's to play back nicely. There's a lot of  
activity in that area recently so I'll resync and try it again this  
weekend. So far I'm getting a pause every second or two which may be  
related to the other thread about pauses in 720p content I'm seeing  
around here.
