I agree with Tanja that it is anoying to press a button twice when you only want one action. Splitting tv functionality into two sections: record/program and watch is more intuitive than the way it is now.
Don't forget that new users often see things right. We are only accustomed to what Freevo has become in time. Remember the "under water" screen of WordPerfect that displayed the formatting codes? It was "the way it should be" according to many.... Richard.
