Thanks for the feedback. With regards to your suggestions:

1) This is something I'm working on. Unfortunately to find out which
programs are not available I'd have to query them all individually, which is
something I'd rather not do. I was planning though to cache the request when
the user finds something unavailable, then automatically marking it as such
on the program list afterwards.

Example: You would click a program on the list, find it wasn't available and
from then on that would be automatically reflected in the program list for
everyone else.

2) Clicking on the WiiPlayer logo on the top left should take you back to
the main menu.

Thanks,
Chris
