My wife just called me at work to yell at me that she can't get the TV working and it keeps starting and exiting which probably means the channel that was last on is not working. The sorted Guide by Genre also sounds like a great idea as well as page up and down to jump through the Guide.

I would still love to have the option to jump around the guide as well as previously mentioned. I have all my Live TV channels bunched together and if I don't know what I want to watch, instead of scrolling through the Guide (mine continues to grow and is getting quite long to navigate), I can jump to that section and then scroll through what I want. I workaround this by first jumping to the first channel in that section and then opening the guide which has the same results but I have to leave my current program just to see what else might be on. Not huge, but would love the feature as we were use to it. If your working on the Page UP/Down hopefully this could get implemented as well.

I like the start-up channel idea, this would be a neat way to have a "local" channel and it could either be security cameras, or maybe a channel where you have detail weather (5 day outlook or radar or both in a revolving function) then maybe setup a RSS stream at the bottom to scroll family / household news like "Soccer practice M-W-F at 5pm" "Pay the Power Bill" "Jane Doe's B-Day January 7th" etc...

I recently purchased an IP camera as well. The videostream is .cgi,
is it possible to include that as a channel? Couldn't find this info on page 1.

Donor exclusive "internet" commercials is almost finished.
PTVL will parse two commercial databases and return recent videos...

Also next update will include various tweaks...

Quote:I could possibly turn channel 1 into a TV Guide that shows the channel logo, name of channel and channel number.

HAHAHA, your so right. It works 90% of the time it's just this dead channel problem that she can't deal with. I can't believe she refuses to learn to edit XML, I don't get it!

I told my wife the only way to fix it is a bigger TV.
