After downloading the TV program from the net with xmltv, I usually go
through the wole guide to see what's interesting in the coming week
(especially in the evenings when movies are scheduled).

I have no idea what the proper interface could be, but having as much
information as possible at once is what I am used to now.

Just my 2 cents.
