Just a quick query on the annoying animation. What is it that you find annoying about this? The animation is only meant to show if your system has remained idle for a period of time, is this not the case on the Raspberry Pi? I am considering making the setting to drop this animation available in the UI but there is already a mountain of settings so I could do with some convincing. And for reference the animation is something the AppleTV does when it's idle.

As Tomrjob already mentioned, it can be a pain when the animation starts up while you're reading program info, & you have to jab a remote button to keep reading. Also my wife is quite prone to motion sickness and finds this sort of animation unpleasant, so this affects the SAF quite a bit.

Unfortunately enabling the 'lowspec' setting turns off the 'Broadcast' option which I use, so I'd really like a way to just disable the animation.

While I'm here, I do have a few questions/requests:

The on-screen keyboard has wraparound when you cursor to the extreme left & right on the top 2 rows, but not on the lower rows. It would be easier to use if it wrapped around on all rows, plus on cursor up & down as well.

When the screensaver is activated, you still get pop-up alerts for events, but the text is invisible.

I don't seem to get an alert message if the PVR backend is unreachable - is there a way to enable this?

When you cursor over an episode in the PVR, the episode start & end times are shown, but the 'end time' is always the current time. Also I think it would be much more useful to show the recording date rather than the start & end times.

Cheers,
