Just a request for a small addition to the already phenomenal amount of work you guys have done to the front end. **Applause**


With the PVR frontend TV Guide in enigma2 on most DVB-S/T/C PVR settopbox's GUI'S there is an option to alert the viewer of the next program starting via taskbar popup for a briefy 5 seconds. (Next Program: Title of program)


What does this setting do: Well it allows a 5-10 second taskbar notification/popup message of next program starting "Next: or whatever"


Guess the options would exist in [Options] -> [PVR/TV Settings] -> [TV Guide] - Enable next program starts notification

Why is useful? Not just is it useful for finding out what is on next on channel which is good in itself. Also helps with setting up channels.xml bcos it allows you to see exact time program starts via popup. Gives you accurate notifications to allow you to adjust the timings on the tv guide scraper (webgrab etc)

I take it this feature may be undesirable for some ppl using limited hardware so an option to enable or disable it would probably be the recommended thing (starting on disabled obviously)

Thank you for reading my email !
