I'm still asking why can this Live TV top menu cannot be implemented with an Autodetect.
Live TV enabled, it pops up. Live TV disabled, it does not ?
It is simply impossible. Just so you understand how this works.
In other skins there is usually some kind of list managing the menu
Videos - Programs - Pictures - Movies - Tv Shows - Music - Custom 1 - Custom 2 etc.....
this list is always ordered the same way and each element always maintains its position. Each element can however be hidden or shown depending on some conditions. So if for example Movies were hidden the Tb Shows Menu would appear as if were the 4th menu item. But it is still in the 5th position. It just happens that the 4th Position is skipped because it is hidden. This allows the skin to easily implent the fact that the movies menu can for example automatically be displayed if the library contains more than 0 movies. It is possible because it is always the 4th Menu.
In BOX however you can rearrange the order of the list . so one cannot know which menu corresponds to which content. If one where to implement such functionality every single menu would need to first of all figure out if they are a live menu ( that is complex) and when detected then all menus should have all possible conditions for hidden it or displaying based on Content conditions.
Furthermore each menu in BOX may be used for different type of content. So for example you could have one person that has a TV Menu, where he places a Tile to go to his TV Shows and another one to go to the Live TV. So if the menu were to be hidden because he disables PVR. He wouldnt be able to access his Tv Shows.
As you see BOX is simply a collection of tiles. There is no relationship whatsoever to content types. This is why it is completly customizable and is also why the feature you requested is impossible.
It is the same as if you would ask to the confluence skinner if he could make it possible to choose the order of the home menu. He would also simply say its impossible.
