I initially started this thread because I have a Tivo and like the menus 
on it (doing everything from the watch recordings menu). I read in a 
post that most things can be done from the Watch Recordings menu and 
tried this out myself. The one issue I think I have is the lack of a on 
screen menu of choices (without having to press a key to get the menu). 
I think Mythtv needs to be spouse, kid and guest friendly. It seems that 
the lack of an visible menu without knowing the hotkey to display this 
menu is the main issue now.
