What TV has a good EPG for OTA?

I am in the sticks and I can't get cable therefore I get my local channels through an antenna. My current tv only pulls up what is on now and the next program for the current channel. It is a pain in the butt going through all the channels to find out what I want to watch. I was wondering if any tv's actually show the full days broadcast and all the channels at once like a cable or satellite box does?

    A lot of this depends on what the station is sending. The FCC rules only require that EPG data for the next four hours be sent. Some stations do more, I usually set my encoders up for eight hours of EPG data. Any TV should show whatever data is in the table, though.

    Use the web, Luke.

    http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/

    has listings for the next two weeks. You just give it your zip code and broadcast tv (antenna) as the source.

    There's also titantv.com
