I must be a little bit dumb, I don't understand any of those posts. I tried uncomenting the stuff at the bottom of tvmenu.xml but I don't see any change on my menus.
I also tried putting the following into mainmenu.xml under the "Watch TV" section - EXECTV tvtime -m -D %s This stopped the menu option doing anything at all. Is there a full explaination of what files I need to edit and what I need to put in them? Does anyone have a proper example?
