I've yet to hear anything bad about Guidebuilder 3.3 or later.  Well, nothing 
substantially bad.  They're no longer the worst in the marketplace.  Since I 
don't want to occupy that end of the price/performance scale, I'm being real 
careful with my (first notice here) PSIP Server, for which I have a customer 
whose payment I have already deposited.  It will have many unique features, not 
the least of which being that "PSIP Server" isn't just a marketing wrinkle.  
Servers do keep logs and flag errors, don't they?

I will write an interface to Myers Protrack if and when a customer requests it.

Just a data point, John.  We have Guidebuilder software, and after our last 
update are finally happy with it.  It plays nicely with our Protrack traffic 
software, and we transmit 3 days of guide for three channels.  Our 23-0 
analog, 23-1 HD, and 23-2 SD.  23-0 and 23-2 are duplicate programming, but 
not all STBs display the 23-0 data if they have no analog tuner (the Samsung 
in my office is one example.)
