@Sranshaft: I don't think I want to limit the EPG from actually playing a show that is in the "future". That's part of the appeal of the media center...play what you want when you want. Since I am able to play a show in the future, if the user wants to do it then I will. Now, perhaps the ability to choose to set some sort of reminder is a good idea...
When you change channels, it should start playing at the proper time, pretty much never at the beginning. So if it's always starting at the beginning for you then there is some issue. How are you changing channels? Arrow up and down? Or selecting a different show from the EPG? Even from the EPG, if the show is "currently playing" it should start in the middle. This may also explain the behavior of playing the wrong show. If you can get some more information that would be helpful.
