I'm trying to transition from WMC to kodi for my living room htpc. It's primary purpose is PVR for a twin tuner satellite feed so ~150 channels. I currently have DVB-link working and talking to kodi no problems.
I, and more importantly my other half cannot get used to the interface for watching live tv. It seems as though kodi is setup for watching local content quite well but no so much for channel hopping.
Is there a skin or UI option that changes the behavior to be more similar to windows media center, SKY, TiVO etc.?
More specifically I'm looking for when I press up or down on my remote it currently goes up or down a channel respectively. Ideally up or down would bring up a mini-EPG with two or three lines of data that is browsable using the directions. Pressing my guide button, or recorded tv button would bring up the full guide or recorded tv regardless of the current screen. At the moment these buttons are context dependent. At the moment there is an EPG button on the control bar when watching a channel but this just brings up a list of what's on that channel rather than the full timeline I'd prefer.
I've tried out a few skins but can't seem to replicate what I want. Googling has be fruitless.
Thanks in advance
