[QUOTE="CHli, post: 521600, member: 13587"] I think a big improvement would be first to notify the user with an image inserted in the stream instead of a dialog box when the signal is lost or CAM cannot decrypt the signal. Use case : I select a channel that I don't have rights to watch or i don't have the right codec installed or that is on a transponder that offers bad signal or any other reason for the tv stream not showing. What I get today is : wait wait wait wait wait wait wait and some error message telling me that something doesn't work (crypted / bad codec / unable to start graph /etc) and the possibilty to go back to the previous channel or stop. What I think would be a major improvement is to tell the user much sooner that something went wrong (I tried to change the different timeouts in the configuration but I don't think they have any effect on that delay) and also instead of raising an error message just insert a picture in the stream that would tell me that this channel is crypted / bad codec / etc. It has the following benefits : The user can continue zapping within a reasonable amount of time The user doesn't have to think about the possible answer he wants to give (i just want to zap i don't want to think hehe) This is the way that is used on most set-top-box and is more natural to the general user What do you think ?
