[QUOTE="jdiffend, post: 9775, member: 10910"] My biggest complaint with MP is that it's too techy oriented to pass the elder test. So many options, settings and things that need to be hidden so they don't intimidate less tech savy people. And changing the font to make the screen easy to read is impossible for all but the most techie. I am a software engineer and I can do it but do I want to? NO! All these options on screens need to be moved to an overlay or popup that is accessed with a menu button to avoid confusion. As a bonus you can fit more on the screen for the program guide, movies or whatever. Less tech savy people just want to watch tv, check the weather forcast, watch a movie or listen to music. They want it to work... not know how it works and all those settings (big icons, icons, list, etc...) are intimidating. They want the settings to be set once and forgotten. Hell, *I* want to set them once and forget them. I won't ever use most of those options but once anyway. [/QUOTE]
