You have an idea how MediaPortal could be improved? Post it in here.
I was thinking a great addition to mediaportal would be to add a few features to the home page, its very clean and easy to use, however how about a few non selectable items such as *Scrolling RSS feed bar up the top or bottom * 4 small customisable spaces where you can put your favourite picture or a live feed like weather or a...

It would be a nice addition if one coulde choose what channel-changing-scheme (algorithm) should be used. Maybe even define your own scheme. Could just place a dropdown on the setuptv.exe app, giving the user the possibility to choose between 2-3 schemes. On a sidenote what happens if I am watching some channel and then suddenly...

Hi, You don't have to delete db for updating TVE3, if something it's changes (to db) it will automatically be deleted when installing/configuring TVE3 setup. btw, it's pretty fast to uninstall & then install (if no changes to db it's required) new TVE3 pack, from a testers view ;) Regards Roy
