I guess it needs to be started as a web browser, but without the browser part since it is only for part of one web page.

http://www.tvguide.com/listings/default.aspx

I don't have a clue how I can get that part without the rest of the page (ads, banners, etc.) It looks like a flash object, but right clicking on it does not behave like a flash object.

Are you familiar with Spiders?
I am NOT a webprogrammer by any stretch of the imagination. But I had heard of programs, called spiders, that could go to a website and download the information to be used for other purposes. Travelocity, Hotels.com, and other similar places are supposedly using such things to extract rate data from the airlines, hotels, and other places for making quotes for their customers.
If you could find a spider the data could be downloaded then redisplayed in your program.
