The problem I see here is although many including myself would like to have a guide, we all get info from different places. I want a Directv guide but couldn't figure out how to get the data. Others would want Dish, local cable etc. It would be difficult to write a somewhat generic app, and device specific apps likely wouldn't have a large enough ROI to justify development time. The only hope I see is if someone with the particular service, programming knowledge, time and generosity happens to develop one and wants to share it.
True - I don't think you could ever have a generic one that works for everything. Mine works by downloading a web page and then parsing the data - so it's specific to that site. And in fact, if the site itself changed the way it shows the data (which fortunately they haven't in the last year) then I'd have to fix it.
