Remove "Watch this channel" dialog

Swede · 2008-05-16, 10:45

I have a hard time figuring who would like the "Watch this channel?" dialog that appears when you chose something you want to watch from the EPG-guide. I, for one, curse it

every time it appears. Please remove it again, or at least make it an option in config.

Sorry for being a sauerkraut

A cool and (I think) easy feature to implement in the EPG guide would be to be if the program you set a reminder on, automaticly was timeshifted.

I agree on the "watch this channel" point.

My GF always hates that dialog box - "of course I want to watch it, thats why I selected it!!"

hi
and how do you want to shedule a new record?

By pressing the record button on the remote?

Not every remote control has the record button, also there are some touch screen users that might like to schedule recordings

So, I guess making it an option is the best solution?

weissollo · 2008-05-16, 16:52

or the Playbutton on the remote?

That doesn't help the touch screen users...

I mean that there should be three options

The OK button on the remot (the same if you touch on the screen) --> the "watch this or record this channel" diolog will come
The Play button --> The program will start
The record button --> It will be recorded

The best solution in my opinion is to make it as an option in Remotebuttonmapping configuration.

Yes, that might even be simpler to implement.
