One of the options available for the Superguide sat TV adapter is
a Centronics-compatible parallel port.  It would probably be pretty
easy to attach it to a PC.  It was originally the intent of
Superguide to be able to interface it with a personal computer to
be able to print formatted listings.

Pick up a copy of your favorite sat TV magazine and call the people
at Superguide directly for more info.  General Instruments is also
working on something called Videopal that is supposed to hook into
your data output of a Videocipher.  I don't think Videopal has gone
beyond the concept stage yet.  Videopal is supposed to hook up to
personal computers too.
