Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I am in the process of switching my HTPC from Media Portal to MythTV and I want to know if there is a theme or customization I can have for the MythTv frontend that makes it behave more similar to the TV menu in Media Portal?</div>
<div><br></div><div>The big issue I have with the Myth user interface (Using 0.24 right now) is that to schedule recordings, I have to go into maybe 4 different menus to bring up the guide. </div><div><br></div><div>But even worse it that to watch live TV, it seems like I can't just use the guide to switch to live TV. I can only use that guide to schedule recordings.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In media portal, if you pressed enter on an entry that was showing *now* it would just start watching it. In Myth I can't seem to do this, I have to go back out to the top level menu, go to Watch TV then hit the 'S' key (of all things....) bring up a "live tv guide" and then select what I want to watch.</div>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>You should look over the keybindings and jump points. There are bindings in various contexts to do what you want including changing channels from the program guide and entering the program guide directly while watching TV. If you don't like the key that is used, you can change it.</div>
