That's some good ideas. I like the conversion chart idea. 

For my system I have a combination of touch screens and big screens. It
sounds like MythTV is moving towards supporting a touch screen interface.

For the Myth web interface, I have modified the code to support touch screen
better than before with nice buttons. However, its sounds like Flash may be
embedded in the web page in the future. We'll see.....
