PRC fileUGuide uses comprehensive, nationwide TV listings for the US. You can use UGuide anywhere in the US where you have mobile phone service with a data plan. UGuide is not currently available outside the US.
NOTE: UGuide is a Java mobile application and requires that Java be installed on your device. You must install a Java capable environment. The IBM Java implementation WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment is recommended by Palm, and is available at no cost to customers who purchased a Treo 650 smartphone, a Tungsten T5 handheld or a Zire 72 handheld. Go to http://www.palm.com/us/support/jvm/ for download details. Other customers with supported devices can purchase IBM WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment at Software Connection for $5.99.
Please note that although this app has been reported stable and functional for most users, it is currently in beta stages and may present some errors for certain features and/or devices.
hfolmt: I used this program a lot, but check the website to see if the company is still around. Their website has not been renewed and the program doesn't recognize my log in anymore 
Joad: 24 hours on a 700p with no crashes, and pretty positive results. You gotta give them your cell # and zip, then know exactly which cable provider's configuration you use (my area has several from the same provider with dubious name).
The GUI isn't the most beautiful or quick - it doesn't seem to cache much locally - if you have several channels selected, every time you scroll down beyond about 5 displayed it goes back to the network for more data. I'd rather it allow me to configure how much data to pull down at once - I've got RAM to burn now and EVDO - so let me pull down all channels within a certain time period.
Additionally, it doesn't seem to allow you to get any information previous to the moment you are checking - if you want to find out what movie you just caught the end of.... tough luck.. Also- some of the program descriptions seem lacking.
For the price, it's the best and simplest (affordable) implementation of real-time TV information I've seen yet. 
pinoi_jigga: works pretty good so far, no reset on my treo 650 yet
