I hear that there is no interactive guide. If you use one, why?

Thanks

The technology is not there yet.

A cable card will only supply you with one way communication. You do not get any features that require you transmitting info back to the cable company such as on-demand and other features.

Toshiba integrated TVs have a built-in TV Guide system. With these sets and a CableCard, you will have an on-screen channel guide.

I would verify this statement before banking on it...
