With the new functionality to record all channels in a mux simultaneously I guess it would be "rather" simple to make a variant on the ususal PIP views that TVs normally have.

Why not have a kind of live TV thumbnail in the left hand side if the EPG, next to the channel icon? Would be kind of neat to see what is actually on each channel in the EPG view... Smile

If the number of tuners are not sufficent to fill all thumbnails with Live TV simoultaneously then an automatic round-robin method could be used to hop between the different channels and display the thumbnails a few seconds at a time.

Sorry, its unlikely I'd add something like this. Its not worth the effort that would required, and I'm pretty sure it couldnt be made to work that well. Most video card will only accelerate a single video stream, so multiple would like stutter and crawl, particularly with the new HD H.264 channels that are popping up everywhere.

Ok. Would have been neat though... Smile

Could it be possible though to make some sort of still picture as a snapshot? The stills could then be updated one after the other. One would have to limit this feature to only work when in full frame EPG, and not when you pop the EPG up from Live TV.

It takes a few seconds to start up a device and tune to a channel, even if you only want a snapshot, so its not really worth the hassle - it'd be some ugly mess that took forever to show the snapshots of each. It'd just cause people to complain about how slow it was.

Ok, lets forget this suggestion then...
Thanks for your time to answer this though, Sub.
