[QUOTE="hulkhaugen, post: 809249, member: 84392"] Agree to disagree. There are several ways of solving this, but the way i imagine is like this. Ine the first picture where you see the promo of Transformers, Green Lantern and Matrix, you're not browsing the movies, but the category bar above it, such as movies, series, live tv etc. If there is a way to press arrow down at this point and highlight/execute one of the promoted videos(elements), that would be an awesome bonus. If not, then we'll just skip to the next image, where we got a coverflow of movies as default, tha way MS does it in Metro, but of course we can modify. And a arrow up there will bring you to the back button, and maybe a few more buttons, such as settings, layout etc. This is the first that came to my mind, and there might be other solutions as well.
