[mythtv-users] Re: Two Bugs in Mythtv v0.11 & Two Usability Requests

[Chris]

Absolutely agree. Open software genrates great products, packed with 
features, but often so well hidden that mainstream users never finds 
them. I suppose this is a natural tendancy to code things useful to 
yourself rather than to others.

I'm currently writing a patch to allow configuration of the settings of 
the PVR-x50 from within myth, but I'm volunteering in trying to code 
some of the suggestions the community might have (considering the fact 
that I'm not quite confortable with the mythtv code, yet) thereafter.

Definitely, a popup help is high on my list, as my limited memory 
prevents me to remember all those handy keyboard shortcuts ;-)
