[QUOTE="gds, post: 9165, member: 10435"] [b]TV module[/b] I don't know if these features are already planned in the new TV module, anyway here are my thoughts on the shortcomings of the current one: 1 - the TV mode should be channel-centric, hiding when possible the presence of various cards in the PC. This could be obtained by: a - hiding the choice of card for channels being broadcasted only on one card (the program could select automatically the correct card for each possible channel); b - automatically grouping TV channels broadcasted on different cards / different kind of cards (Analog + DVB-T/C/S), giving on request the possibility to change the selected card (this would be useful if you have different viewing quality for some channels or if some shows are encrypted on some cards while free-to-air on some others); c - automatically setting the preferred card for each channel broadcasted on different cards and allowing change of the preferred card if needed; 2 - allow reorder / grouping of channels under subcategories (useful when you have thousands of channels); 3 - teletext / EPG / PiP buttons in the interface; 4 - provide meaningful names for the different cards, e.g. "Terrestrial TV", "Satellite TV" or "Digital Terrestrial TV" when you have one card for each kind of transmission. Hope it helps. GDS [/QUOTE]
