I just read that as well. I've installed it on Vista Ultimate and it installed fine and I don't even have tuners on that system.
Do you get any errors? After I installed and tried to run the grabber I had an error for a missing file---msinet.ocx. I downloaded it and placed it in the Windows system32 folder and the grabber ran. Not sure if this will help you in your situation.
Another suggestion is to try to install it using XP Compatibility. I guess it's worth the try.

It installs fine actually, its the wizard that crashes. It crashes when its time to set up epg. I have tried all the compatibilty modes. It works on my XP Pro machine...

hmm.. I may be able to find a workaround for that. I'll do some digging and see what I can do. I thought you were saying the install was crashing.

You must be using Oz's grabber. Mine does not reference that file. Oz's does not require the Yahoo app to be installed at all.

Sounds good.

OK, I figured out a work around using an xp machine. I copied the data from xp to the programdata folder on Vista. Now Go TV works. I did your program and every channel shows up in the guide but only a few programs show up...and the guide doesnt start at channel 2. Im using 03110 for my zip code (comcast cable not digital). There is one dup channel there which I got rid of..55
Thanks

That file imported fine. There are 60-70 channels in it and I have listings through the 18th.

Funny, I tried it twice and it was messed up. I just tried it again and its fine (except the times being 1 hour off but I read your fix for that).
