just want to say, for the reason and depth we are all going into here
in the mailing list... is exactly why the first version of this plugin
is extremely focused in functionality (but quality) and lightweight in
terms of features.
Time to write a spec yet guys? Is the one I wrote from a UX
perspective where I talked about a hierarchy (more or less) correct
for features/functionalities keeping in mind the late night mistakes I
put in regard to tuners and liveTV? If so, someone here can begin
writing a spec to share...maybe what I wrote is a good basis?
Time to get organised and stop 'talking shop' :p

This is where majority rules. Based on the margin of "people who
have a pvr" to "people who have a tv", there are more of the latter,
so we provide for the larger quantity first.

Yes I know, I mentioned that in one of my recent posts.

Yeah I'm starting to lean on your side here.

Yeah but there are both cases when a user comes from '(No) TV' to
'TV in
Moovida' as well as those who come from 'PVR' to 'No PVR in Moovida'.
And now it starts being subjective - you want LiveTV more, I like PVR
more, wanna fight? ;)
