My brain understands the flow of time much better than the current small skip / big skip methods. When commercial skip fails I usually 3x, 5x, 10x,20x... fast forward with additional presses of the FF key. <b>I find the intelligent return to playback based on how fast I was going excellent in MythTVFrontend.</b> (I really miss how my 2000 Tivo would do true smooth FF/RW but our ability to do smooth FF/RW is limited by the underlying decode/display library & modern compression types and is not a MythTV topic.)</div><div>* Remote key binding - Between various apps it is getting more challenging to find compatible keybindings for FLIRC IR remote widget. It would be helpful if LeanFront allowed for key binding editing.</div><div>* I have not figured out yet how LiveTV interacts with current schedule listings, but I also haven't put much effort in. I would like the listing schedule to be the primary LiveTV interface over a simple channel list. I only use LiveTV a couple of times a year.</div><div>* How much did I skip - I appreciate how MythTVFrontend says how much time was skipped in a commercial skip. Big skips are highly suspect and I usually undo with a commercial back skip and manually

Just an FYI for those considering jumping in: My cable provider switched to <br>
streaming boxes (HLS) which are Android<br>
based, so I loaded the app on both of mine (model Pyxis-RCN).<br>
<br>
Yet another way for 'dumb' TV sets to get smart.<br>
