think of a couple of approaches, rotating the names of a few selected files<br>
(or, better, links to files), or rotating the actual name that's selected.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Well, I presume you could do something like a music shuffle. There is a playlist feature (that I haven't worked out how to use yet.)</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
I'd guess that as long as a different file comes up each time, with a rotation<br>
of at least 12 or so files, would accomplish what you want. You might even<br>
base the selection on time of day or day of month, perrhaps not random but as<br>
long as a different show comes up each time it would probably be acceptable.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yeah, it doesn't really have to be from everything. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
If she could truly understand the explanation she would be smarter than most<br>

Actually I can see such a feature being useful to many folks. Often the TV is<br>
used to "fill time", and it might be nice to have a button to just pop up a<br>
more or less random show, from a selection of not-too-bad ones. This could be<br>
modified to prefer shows that will expire soon.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Going back to music you could do a shuffled set of music videos, for the MTV-circa-1982 feel.</div><div> </div><div>Research time...</div>
