TV Guide (1 Viewer)

It would be nice if there were somewhere where you could select the numbers of channels to view in the TV Guide.
Say you f.ex. only have 5 or 7 tv channels...

It would be nice if there were somewhere where you could select the numbers of channels to view in the TV Guide.

You can do that right now - only the channels with a (green) tick in the tick-box will be displayed in the EPG - this is in Configuration / Television / Channels...

You will probably find that all your channels are currently selected - just remove the tick from the ones you don't want included in the EPG display.

No, if I do that the channels will be repeated in the empty lines. I want to remove them and OLNY view 5 channels

This is a modified EPG Guide (mytvguide.xml) for MCE. It has been modified to:

* display 6 not 8 channels (Great for Australians!),

* have a bigger TV Preview,

* have a bigger description field,

* display the unused 'sub-title' field &

* scrollbars, etc. have been repositioned/resized to suit the above changes.

Yes

Just what I was thinking of. But why are there no such setting in MP?

Would it be hard to make? - No.
Would it make MP even more userfriendly? - Yes.

I know there are major issues to work on, but with more userfriendly software, MP becomes more interesting than what the competitor has to offer.
I would really like to see more HTPCs with MP than Microsoft Media Center. THAT would make my day. And that is why I want to find as many small details to make MP for everyone. :wink:

1. I'm not a programmer. If you are; then make it 8)
2. Most ppl have more channels than us..... :?

For 99% of the pll this will mean "nada"/nothing

Also: Which "competitors"? MCE? I belive that there is no competiton which have what MP does; It's free, evolving every week, user friendly +++

A friend of mine bought MCE. He knows little about computers and software.
He now uses XP MCE only as a shell for MP.
