Michael: The Win7 (and Vista if you have installed the upgrades - Freeview news | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice ) Media Center can use either the internet-delivered (from DigiGuide) or Freeview-delievered listings.
From the "TV Programme Guide" screen, right click on a channel (like "1 BBC One") and choose "Edit channel". You then see...
And select "use listings from broadcaster".

and to call them "tax paid" is very silly, as UKTV brings in money to the BBC in addition to the TV Licence.
A petition to say "stop BSkyB requiring all of each provider channels to be subscription" might be better.
