Like I said, I prefer Full over Now&Later, so... It should default to whatever the user left it on. :) That lets them choose which one they like. > > Still, being in the player you can have two separate buttons for N&N > and > for the full EPG. This may be more confusing. Need two small icons that relay the fact that they are both EPG and that one is Full and one is Now&Later. > Just to be clear, I don't like the two separate paths to it either, > but > I don't like 'go left to go up' even more... I think most people will switch it once, then leave it that way forever, because they like one more then the other. So long as the EPG remembers which one it was last left in it will be great. Why ask every single time which mode you via the menu's, if you usually only want the same mode? Right? Also, I think most people will use Moovida with more then 6 buttons on the remote, a keyboard, a mouse, or a touch screen, which its then a nonissue. Having the UI be consistent with the rest of Moovida is worth it I think. There currently is a 'go right to go up' in the UI.' A little different, but similar. 6 buttons on a remote is IMHO suboptimal to begin with and necessitates some UI trade offs like this. I think its preferable to have it work nicely from a touchscreen/mouse/keyboard/7+ button remote, and make sure there is a workable solution for 6 buttons. The split menu like you describe is suboptimal for touchscreen/mouse/keyboard/7+ and only optimal for 6 button. The mode switcher like the rest of the Moovida UI with the buttons in the top right is optimal for all but 6 button and still provides a reasonable work around for 6. > Unless... unless the switch would simply be on the far left side... > That > could work, then again - inconsistent with the rest of the UI...
