single method for miniguide

[stefan_k]

Hi,
1st: great product!!!
2nd: most needed: idiot proof user-interface.

==============
Now:
confusing channel-change/miniguide/info in live-tv

During live-tv you have the option:
- info: see current cahnnel-info
- channel-pre-select: also see current channel
- miniguide: see 2 channels

The functions are almost equal, but have differerent user-interface.

Sugestion: combine in 1:
Show miniguide:
- 1channel only, maybe 2 (+highligth)
- navigation-keys to brows through (like tv-guide)
- OK: to 'jump in, get detail-screen, same as during tv-guide'
- rec: to 'record program as selected'
- play: switch channel and 'go to higlighted channel'
(in that case ignore time as highlighted)

in addition:
- offer function in time-shift mode
- AND when using 'live-preview'

Note:
- now its difficult to explain to wive/kid difference between 3 almost similar functions.
- now its difficult to explain why it works in timeshift and why not when in preview-mode
- result: do not use

---------
Also (for consistancy AND less keystrokes)

in TV-guide:
when navigating, add 2 functions:
- rec: to 'quickrecord program as selected'
- play: goto live-tv and play highlighted channel'
(in that case ignore time as highlighted)


Note: less critical, but i guess 'adding smoothness'

-------------
Thanks
Stefan

mini guide is also enabled in live preview mode in the next release. Eventually though, mini-guide will be removed as I wont be adding any features to it. Instead you must now use the the new tv guide. It can be skinned to look very similar to the mini guide, including one row, one show etc.
