Here's a great resource for anyone using a Palm as a remote, and who also has a PC with Web access.

First, set up for a free account at http://avantgo.com/ and setup their software to sync with your palm (it's easy). Then subscribe to the GistTV channel (also free) in AvantGo, and customize it to include your local/cable/satellite channels. (GistTV has an impressive database of local cable systems, including the new digital services -- just enter your zip code. You can exclude any channels you never watch.)

Now, anytime you perform the one-button hotsync operation between your Palm and your PC, AvantGo/GistTV will install a nicely formatted listing of the day's TV programs(with descriptions)onto your Palm, for the channels/time frame you've selected.

Now your Palm is not just a great remote control unit, but also a free, electronic custom TV guide.

Is this cool, or what??
