I don't know about accessible program guides, Netflix is certainly very accessible. As for recording, that is a No at this point. I think considering that a lot of what you have access to on the Apple TV is basically on demand programming, being able to record something which airs at a certain time is not as big of an issue.

Here are more Apple TV questions: since VoiceOver comes standard on the Apple TV, is there a way of accessing a guide of some sort to find out what is on all those channels? Also, can the Apple TV record show for playback later? Is that process accessible?
