Have you tried changing your menu theme?<br>
<br>
Utilities/Setup->Setup->Appearance<br>
<br>
At the bottom of this setup screen is a selection for "Menu theme" :<br>
options on box are: Default, classic and DVR.<br>
<br>
The DVR theme puts the more DVR-specific functions on the first menu<br>
screen you see. (The "Main" screen you seen when you first start the<br>
frontend.)<br>
<br>
NOTE: I am running version .20.2, using the G.A.N.T. theme. I tried a<br>
couple of different themes available to me, and the "DVR" menu theme<br>
seems to work on those as well. I can't speak to whether this works any<br>
differently in .21, but anyway, it might be more along the lines of what<br>
you are looking for.<br>
