After spending quite some time this last week to get GBPVR set up (novice user alert!) it would be really great if the setup process, especially channel tuning, could be made to be a little smarter. If at all possible I would like to see:
1. Configuration for UK Bleb plugin (or maybe even XMLTV itself?) updated to grab groups of pre-set channels (eg. choice of Freeview, TOTV, Sky etc. channels from a menu).
2. Tuning dialog to put digital radio channels in a seperate list from the TV channels selected.
3. Tuning dialog to warn if expected channels (ie those selected for inclusion in the EPG) were not found?
4. Ability to setup timeshared channels in tuning dialog without having to rescan manually at different times of the day. For example on Freeview CBBC becomes BBC3 at 7pm so if you scan too early you might not get BBC3 in the channel list though you will get them seperately in your EPG. Assigning BBC to CBBC or vice versa appears to confuse the hell out of the EPG at the moment :-)
5. It would be useful if the tuning dialog was able to handle channel names a bit more smartly - could there be a map between BBC ONE, BBC1 and BBC 1 for example? this would reduce the amount of frantic mousing required to get things working.
