Now for some questions:<br>
1) Is there a way to record something you are watching on LiveTV<br>
(basically saving the start of the program you've been watching<br>
seemlessly with the rest)? I am looking for Tivo equivalent<br>
functionality of just hitting the record button whlie watching<br>
something.</blockquote><div><br>Yep. You hit the record button. :) (Keyboard R, which most people map to the record button on the remote).<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
2) The remote seems to map to keys, is there a way in 0.21 to have<br>
certain keys bring you to a particular function regardless of the<br>
current screen (e.g., the Live TV button and Guide Buttons).</blockquote><div><br>Yes, they're called jump points. Utilities/Setup->Edit Keys, in the jumppoints section. Bind a key to one.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
3) Is there a way to stop escape on main menu from exiting? It would<br>
be nicer if it was ignored and I could add a "Menu" exit item<br>
elsewhere; trying to make the whole system appear more blackbox like.<br>
As an aside I really like the customizability of the menus, it lets me<br>
make it friendlier for my wife to use by putting Watch Videos and Play<br>
DVD right on top (since we use those for the kids a lot).</blockquote><div><br>Yes. Set the System Exit Key to No Exit Key in General Settings.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
4) Can you make DVD subtitles default to on, like you can with closed captions?</blockquote><div><br>Not that I know of when using the internal player.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
5) Does anyone know if I can use a generic remote with the MCE IR reciever?</blockquote><div><br>Yes. You can "teach" LIRC new keys on other remotes using the irrecord command.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
6) Is it possible to do mute in software without a mixer?</blockquote><div><br>If you mean muting ac3 passthrough, no, it'll have to be done on the receiver.<br><br>Robert<br></div></div><br>
