"Shortcuts" in menus

[mikaelgu]

I'd love the functionalty to:
1) When browsing the TV Guide, just select a program and press "Record" on the remote and it would do a "quick record" just like going to the sub menu and selecting the menu item. (Play might start playing a show that's running.)

2) When in the recordings screen, one layer down (i.e. "inside a show" where the episodes are shown), pressing play would start playing, eliminating the need to go into the sub menu and select play there.

Would make the UI somewhat more useable imho.

It already does this. Have you tried pressing the record button?

:o No
I was at work when typing the message and didn't have a chance to test it, just seemed like a good idea. Sorry. How about the playing recordings thingy, that I have tested without success.

Yep, both Play and Rec work great from the TV Guide, very nice.
Also nice job with the arrows that show the current time. But could they be skinnable? And please don't say that they are already, I had a looong look into the xml and couldn't find anything.

No, the arrows showing current time on the TV guide are not skinnable.
I believe this is on the wishlist though.
