FreeGuide grabs data on only the channels you're interested in and displays them in a list or grid format. You enter your region, ZIP code, and time zone while setting up the software, as well as whether you'll be using a free or paid channel listing guide, and FreeGuide sets up your personalized listing window. You can search for shows by channel, time, title, or sub-title, and highlight favorites so you can find them quickly in listings in the future.

FreeGuide is available as a free download for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It requires at least the Java 2 Runtime Environment v1.6 or higher to work, and Mac users will also need to grab XMLTV
