[QUOTE="meierk, post: 340906, member: 68720"] I'm offering this as a improvement suggestion knowing full well that there may be a way to customize MediaPortal to achieve my desired outcome, that I just haven't found yet since I am a fairly new user. I have owned 5 STB's over the past years and have seen many more at friends and families homes. The one thing about these devices is that you are either watching TV, viewing the guide or configuring the device. This is a consistent interface which makes it highly intuitive. What I would prefer is to happen when I select "Watch TV" is for my LCD screen to show nothing more than the last channel that I was viewing. If I want to view another channel, I will either use the up/down channel button, or select "Guide" on my remote to bring up the EPG. Once in the EPG, the Escape key should return me to the program I was viewing, not the main MediaPortal menu. Having to first select "Watch TV" and then select another option is neither intuitive to me, my family or my friends, but is also not very efficient. If this is something that can be customized, I apologize for the intrusion and welcome a link and information that will help me customize my interface. -Kevin [/QUOTE]
