That seems to be a great idea, to have a thumbnail, just so that it's
more convenient for people to remember where they left off, rather than
just the time. <br>
<br>
Any mythguru in here who can take this up???<br>

<br>when you schedule a program for recording, you specify who would want to<br>watch it (from a list of household members you've preconfigured). When<br>you go to delete a program, it shows you who it thinks wants to watch it

the show, because who can really remember whether they were 17:28 or<br>23:42 into that episode of "Lost" they didn't get to finish watching 3<br>days ago?<br><br>The other good thing about remembering who wants to watch what is that
<br>if you tell it who you are when you sit down to watch TV, you could be<br>presented with a list of programs *you* want to watch, with the ones<br>you've watched part of at the top of the list. Better still if you<br>
could tell it everyone who is in the room, and have it show you a list<br>of what anyone there wants to watch, with priority given to the programs<br>the most people there want to watch.<br><br>--<br>Peter
