In what way are these not in sync? What do you see that needs 
correction/matching?

There are a number of ways in which these cannot sync: physical spacing 
of screen elements is one. I forwarded some patches to 'wide to make 
various of the screens have the same spacing of features, and patched 
some spacing errors such as allowing more room for channel names and 
start times etc. Those patches were accepted. Those sorts of changes 
would be possible but difficult on MythCenter as the extra space has to 
come from somewhere and MythCenter just doesn't have a lot of extra space.

What needs revision? I'm willing to help.
