I cdont want to derail the thread since I'm not the intended audience of this addon, but just to answer these posts:
Yeah, i get that. I just asusme there are people who channel surf differently too. The way I "channel surf" is to browse my EPG, and see something that interests me, jump in, then if it doesn't grab me, browse the EPG again. PVRs that open by default on the EPG have been in use in this house for so long, that it seems alien to start up with something playing, and I'd forgotten that was the normal experience for most people.
The guide button is already mapped to something (the actual PVR EPG).
I know there's a way to change button mappings when certain screens are focussed - do you know if it's possible to do that with PTV Live? I never looked into it because I'd read that the original PTV hihacked most buttons and disabled others to stop them interfering with PTV's behaviour while its running.

The idea behind PTV from the very beginning was to simulate the channel surfing experience...having it start on the EPG and making you choose what you want to watch kind of defeats that purpose don't you think?
