Thanks

I do use the 7 inch display as a second screen, but mostly it is displaying LCD Smartie using a couple of plug-ins (MP.dll and VirtualLCD.dll)

I have it programmed to tell me what MediaPortal is doing. If MediaPortal is running, it tells me what I am watching and a countdown of hours / minutes elapsed and total playtime. If MediaPortal isn't running it tells me if it is recording anything, and / or awake time / uptime / a news ticker.

It is great actually!

Here is a pretty awful photo I just took on my phone to show what it was telling me (MediaPortal was closed and I was playing xbox at the time!).
