Two more things I remembered :p :
10) In the Guide (a but lengthy description... bear with me):
When you browse the guide, let's say the time now is 21:40. and I just look for stuff running now, using up/down.
Most of the slots are either 1-hour shows (in our example, 21:00-22:00), or 30 minutes shows (21:00-21:30;21:30-22:00).
Now, if I move to a channel that has a 1-hour show - it will be highligetd.
If I move to a channel that has 30 minute slot at the current time, the first of the two will be highlighted! (the 21:00-21:30) - this show is already over!
I understand the problem: when moving from a 60min slot to 30min - you choose the first of the two (the one aligned to the same start time) - right? I mean, you can't guess which time I'm looking for.
Unless - I am browsing the current shows - don't jump to ones that are over?
11) In the guide: add a "Reminder" option - to just select a show and set a reminder on it, so when watching live/recorded/videos, if this show's time approaches (have a config to set a predefined reminder time), get an on screen reminder dialog:
---------------------------
"Reminder - 'Prison Break' starts in 5 minutes.
Would you like to switch to liveTv on channel 8 now?"
[OK]/[Cancel]
