Thanks for the feedback everybody!  Unfortunately I didn't write my 
question clearly, so let me try again.

My family are used to opening the "Live TV" menu item and to prevent 
lots of slow channel changes I'd made the Guide display automatically. 
The current show is displayed in a small window in the top right - so 
they can see something going on there.

I use a Mythbunutu theme.

My old system is mythtv 27.6+fixes while my new one is 28.1-3.
In the old system's Video -> "Program Guide" settings there are a two 
pages options.  The option I'd like to set is the very first option 
available in those screens.

In the new system there's only one page and the option is not available 
at all.  (I've also searched through all the other settings screens but 
it's not there)


Is there any way to do this now?  Can I manipulate the database or is 
this a frontend setting somewhere in a config file?

Thanks again!
