I do like the top view. One of the advantages of banner views is being able to see several shows at once and scroll through a large collection rather easily vertically. Showing 6 at a time seems like a good idea vs the 4.
Two good banner views to get ideas from are Night and Rapier. Tho Big_Noid just put a nice one into Nox.
As far as scrolling animation for a banner view, I think Xperience and Presence have the smoothest animations which match the smoothness of Aeon's Poster view, which I've always thought was the smoothest. They kinda look like their scrolling along a big wheel ala Price is Right's big wheel money wheel.
Next aired addon pulls information from TV-rage online to get currently aired shows next episode air time. Where some of the TV Guides that some skins are using are getting their information from. So, if Eureka's next episode airs next week, it'll show the date. There are a few skins that put this to good use are The Carmicheal, Nox, Night, T! etc.
One thing I'd like to also toss in as a request/suggestion. A Now Playing window for various views. One thing I love about Nox that seems to be the only Aeon version that does it. Let's you browse around while having a window of the currently playing video you're watching in view.
Sorry for the big post. Do like what you're showing though!
