That will work. That is basically how the Tivo works. It has a bigger
(I think better because of the size) listing of the recorded shows
(title, date / time, channel logo and an icon showing if it is in good
standing or going to be deleted soon). Once you are at that list of
recorded shows you press the select or right arrow and it displays the
show detail, title, when it was recorded, how long it is, when it will
be deleted, etc and at the bottom of the screen it has the menu choices
of Play, Delete, View upcoming episodes, Recording settings and Cancel.
So from the show details you can manage every thing about that show. It
is nice to be able to see how many, when and the show details of
upcoming episodes from that screen also. I don't know how many people
on this list have Tivo's, they have done a pretty good job in my
opinion with the layout of the menus. I know we don't want to duplicate
another product exactly, but it would be nice to get a nice, easy,
efficient interface. I know that the interface is probably the last
thing on the list with bug fixes, performance, etc coming first. If it
would help I can do some screen shots of the Tivo's different menus so
non-Tivo users can get a feel for it. The only other interface that
looked really good to me was the Moxi product. I wish I could help more
with programming but I have a disabled wife and two kids to take care
of and it is all I can do to spend time on the myth box tweaking it at
night. I am thinking about doing a theme for it soon.<br>

<pre wrap="">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).

In the end you would have to press a key to at least navigate any on
screen menu to choose the action you want. So, how about this, once you have
an episode selected rather than having to press 'I' (or whatever button you
have programmed on the remote) you just press the Right arrow again to
get the same menu as if you had pressed 'I' (Play, delete, cancel, etc).
Here is a patch to do just that against 0.14
