Replace current mythmusic playlist editor using the new table structure to it's full advantage.

Sort out settings to make setup quicker and easier. This means creating two modes, novice and expert, splitting settings in into each group. Using a locale based auto-config, settings which are defined by where you live e.g. Video format, languages, interactive TV etc should all be automatically populated simply by choosing the correct locale from a list on the first startup. Some settings might be replaced with more intelligent auto-detection and some text-entry settings replaced with pre-populated lists.

Improve streaming on remote frontends. Current buffering/streaming just isn't sufficient on connections which are just a little slow e.g. Patchy wireless. It's perfectly possible to get perfect streamed playback on such connections using Kaffeine and the mythweb ASX stream, so the solution shouldn't be too difficult.

Handle the correct muting/recording of line-in from within mythtv setup to simplify framegrabber setup (Might not be possible, but if it is, then it's simple fix)

Allow 2 or more listings sources for one video source. (Don't add channels. Don't run grabber twice for single source)

Add option to liveTV "recording starting" menu to watch remainder of liveTV buffer

The duplicate check method "Record New Episodes Only" either needs re-wording or making a little smarter. It doesn't work as it should like it should for users with no 'Repeat' information in their guide data.

-I gave up on the idea of using an Asus Pundit, it was just impossible to get hold of the right model with the required spec. Instead I found this excellent, brushed aluminium case for just £40:
