Works as advertised, lets you browse the next few hours worth of tv listings in your area and lets you build a list of shows to watch. Really needs a 'Find' function!

The way the information laid out is not very useful. Its less common that one wants to browse what's on one channel, but instead what's on all channel at a certain time. This is a good demo of retrieving zap2it data to an OS X app, but the main interface needs to be rethought. It would be good if the author were to open source this app and some cocoa wiz could contribute a custom grid-type view. Props to the CBC.

I've been using ZapToIt for years. I've tried a couple of versions of this program, including the latest and it still can't log in.
