Okay, I apologize for the miscommunication here.

I think what is supposed to happen is that, like you said, within  
video sources I would normally select "retrieve listings" and would  
get my lineups, and then would be able to select between cable,  
antenna, and some other stuff... I haven't yet seen this screen, as  
clicking on retrieve listings just gives me a temporary progress bar  
and does not change a thing. Looking at the DataDirect forums, there  
has been an issue with their servers recently, so maybe this is a  
DataDirect issue.

If somebody reading this could kindly confirm this and let me know  
what you get when you click on the "retrieve listings" button without  
a brand new video source, this would be extremely helpful. I have  
created my Zap2It account at the http://labs.zap2it.com page.

EDIT: their site is now inaccessible, so perhaps this is the cause of  
my problems after all!


Once I can download my Zap2It data, I'm assuming that I'll then be  
able to setup my Input Connections...


Again, sorry for this miscommunication, clearly I'm simply not seeing  
what I"m supposed to. Hopefully this is the last you'll hear from me =)
