My System

Default The button way

Introduction
This is an attempt to create a simple yet covering the most used features in the "new" my TV start screen.

1. When selecting my TV in the homescreen of MP the image_1 is what you would see in this userinterface
2. By pressing the "TV on/off button" you start TV in the background. The last setting should be saved.
2.1 the next time you enter my TV and you had the setting to "on" you start in live TV (fullscreen), the buttons show for 10 sec and then fades/dissapears. -> Image_1.
2.2 the next time you enter my TV and you had the setting to "off" you start in with live TV off -> Image_2.
3. At anytime you can press the "TV" button on the remot to access these buttons (or perhaps press back).[/list]
The idea is that you should have this "menu" one button away all the time. And if you press one you should not have to go deep into a lot of subpages to do what you want (for example record tv or view the guide).

Possibility for live tv ALL the time in the background even when you add new recordings, manage settings or the TV Server.

And yes I have been inspired by the layout elsewhere.

Live TV
Makes the button dissapear if you have the "TV on/off" set to on.
