    You mean the mini EPG? Try pressing enter / select from your remote when you are in the fullscreen tv view.

    i guess you mean the miniEPG??? it#s still there. mapping has changed and it was removed from the context menu if thats the point where you miss it..

    it's now "ok" on MCE remote respectivly "Enter" on your keyboard where back in the past the "switch to last channel"function was(it's on "0" now by the way)

    hope that helped, but if i were you, i would read the SVN-"changelog" beofre upgrading - so that surprises like this don't happen anymore (-;


    edit: 2late (-;

    ...and is much better where it is now

    Right you are!
    Very good feature, but only for those who do know the shortcut (enter key).

    That's why I would like to see this feature also being available from context menu again. In addition to the enter-function.

    This way people who know the shortcut can use it quickly and other who don't know the shortcut,
    or just are used to use context-menu can use it, too.

    My father for instance is used to select everything via context-menu and he always starts the context-menu
    and after wondering where the Mini-EPG was gone, he remebers about the new shortcut and needs to leave context-menu
    to press enter and get the Mini-EPG.

    I think noone would be bothered, having Mini-EPG in context-menu again in addition to the function to call it using enter-key.

    Regards

    When I last checked the miniEPG always popped up at the first channel, regardless of what you were viewing. But the main Guide opens with you at the current channel (much more intuitive). Is this still the case, or has it been improved now ?

    I used to use the grabber but a few years back it disappeared on FreeSat DVBS. That is when I changed to EPG Collector. The extra benefit is that it collects from the Sky platform so it will give EPG for all the FreeSat channels plus the unencrypted movie channels on the Sky platform. It also allows me to pick the channels dedicated...

    Well, I had already recognized your problem, but I still wanted to point out the basic connections once again. Unfortunately, I don't have a fundamentally different solution for you, but with this approach you should achieve your goal. ;) The idea of first setting the current genre colors with the defines is certainly a good one, as...
