How do I access Gemstar GUIDE Plus+ Interactive Program Guide?

Hello. I just installed my new ATI AIW 9800 Pro yesterday. So far, it
works. I cannot seem to find Gemstar GUIDE Plus+ Interactive Program
Guide in Multimedia Center. I checked everywhere in TV. Did I miss
something? I am using the latest version (did not bother to use the
CD).

Note that I am not using ATI's TV tuner at the moment since I need to
get another antenna for it. Do I need to use the TV tuner instead of
the VCR (TV doesn't have the video inputs and outputs) to use this
feature?

Thank you in advance.

The Gemstar program is separate from MMC and you need to install it. Look
on your installation CD for the program.

Thanks. I wonder why it isn't online. Is it never updated?

You're not going to be able to watch or record any programs unless you have
the antenna set up.

Even if the TV input is via video in? I have it set up the same way I did
with my Leadtek GF4 Ti4200 (VIVO), TV, and VCR.

I'm confused with your question. Are you talking about the software-based
VCR? Are you talking about your regular TV not having the video inputs
(S-Video)?

I have a regular VCR (VHS tapes type; not from ATI) connected to a TV and
my ATI card. The only inputs the TV has are antennae/cable and VCR. It
doesn't have connections for me to bypass VCR to connect to my video card.

Sorry, I am a newbie with this video stuff.

I've got the same question with my new TV Wonder Pro. I can't find the
Gemstar Guide. It isn't on the CD.

I found it! It is under one of the subfolders. Look for it. It's there on
driver CD.
