1.02 - 2 very minor updates, L/R arrows weren't hidden when in minimized mode, and the color dropdown menus were a little off.

That's not a bad idea, I'll have to think about it.

Generally I like it! And it's one of rare widgets that really can be useful for people.

Maybe you should consider minimized view with "now showing" or "coming up" scroller.
BTW, I don't watch TV at all (my wife do)!

I may be biased, but I think this is a pretty sweet widget. For starters, I believe it's the first widget to show TV listings for the US. Second, it's been ajax-ified so that you get usually instantaneous scrolling (depending on connection speed) to the next or previous time chunk, no more waiting for reloads! Check it out...
