Your idea has merit, but I'd like to throw out another option, if it's
technically feasable. Predictive text style entry. Quite a few remotes
have letter labels on each of the number keys - And we already have an
exhaustive database of almost everything the user can type. Just in case
anyone needs an example:
To find a program called 'New Yankee' (With a remote mapped 2abc 3def
4ghi 5jkl 6mno 7pqrs 8tuv 9wxyz 0space) the input would be
639092633, possibly refining the search as the input is being typed...
Just an idea. I don't have the time or ability to look at it now, but
this is one of those things that has me going to MythWeb all the time.
Cheers,
Allan.
