maybe this is not the right place to put it, but I have a suggestion that should be thought about... for not only TV-Server, but mayb the whole of MP.

Remove the unneccesary. For example, if a plugin cannot work because it depends on a device like the internet maybe (or a webcam etc.) then remove it temporarily so that the menus become less cluttered. (for this, plugins need an adjustment to its template class... it needs to require a list of needed items like a list or perhaps a way to make use of internet or a particular device only accessible through custom MP classes that cause MP to know its limitations... this eliminates the need to go out of MP to remove a plugin because it wont be needed for a while and is taking up space, distressing the users (long list = bald man ;P)

Consider having a learning system similar to windows start menu. Have regularly used commands first, unused last.

with respect to the tv-server, I cannot be specific because I do not own a TV card and dont know what is or isnt there... I will get one soon though.
