Try setting up a time in the "schedule manual recording" screen. I think you won't be happy. Even in other screens, don't you expect the big "select" button in the middle of all the arrows to be able to set a checkbox? Does it really make sense to you that pushing the "rightarrow" button sets it and the "select" button dismisses that screen? > Full control from across the room is nice. :) I have a wireless keyboard/mouse for that ;-) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
