Guideplus on new Pioneer DVR530

    I bought the above DVD HDD Recorder and am fairly pleased with it so far. haven't had a lot of time to play with it.

    I'm intrigued by this Guideplus feature (I think it's also called EPG). It's supposed to download channel listings onto the recorder. However, I just can't seem to get it to work for Ireland (did get a few channels when I told it I was in NI, but not really great).

    I use the NTL standard package (for now), so I believe that it should download the program listings from UTV. My questions are:

    1. Does Guideplus actually work in this country
    2. It keeps looking for a two character postal code when I set the country to Ireland. There are no postal codes in Ireland.
    3. Will this system work with NTL's satalite package?

    Thanks a lot.

    Thinking of getting one of these. Did you ever get Guideplus to work?
