Hi, it would be really useful to have the program description on the search page if viewing program title otherwise you can't always tell what your recording until you add it and view through the scheduled recording screen. (yes I know you can search by description!) What I mean is where the title is repeated at the top of the...

this looks terrific!! Very minimalistic, very high contrast. What is the largest font size you have seen used for the menus on this skin (if I decide to change the font sizes)? I want to get something large for those folks that are getting older, and have a hard time reading. Need something for a 60 year old great grandmother who...

Someone should create a better skin that is readable from 20 feet away on a standard 20 inch television.

I know only one EXIF rotation field, the one which works in Canon camera and in MP. I did notice that Windows Explorer does not rotate the pictures. I thought Windows Explorer just does not know to rotate pictures. I wonder if there is some other field which is readable by Windows Explorer but not by MP. Maybe this is not EXIF but...

I'll second thkogel's suggestion. I used to own a Philips TV too and the superzoom function was OK for 4:3 source. Actually, what superzoom does is: crop a few lines from the top and bottom and multiply vertically. Again, very reasonable for 4:3 source. What we're looking for is a feature which recognizes the aspect ratio of the...

The reason that copying the game to the PC to play it would work is: copy protection. To make this a reality (Which i oftern do) a NO-CD crack is needed. While these are not illegal, they arent very reliable. Some games take minutes to make no-cds for, others take along time (Splinter cell chaos theory took around 9 month). But alot...
