....If you're thinking about stuff to write...

How about modifying the Live TV channel guid to be more like Tivo?

The Tivo live TV guide only shows what is playing right now and doesn't
bother showing the entire guide.

This makes sense to me because if you are watching Live TV then you're only
interested in what is playing at the moment.

>> I'm playing with the dvd module that does the ripping.  I've noticed
 that it allows you to specify the name of the file that the movie gets
backed up to.  How are you supposed to do this without a keyboard? Tivo does
text entry using the ol' "high score" grid with letters.  Does myth have
this?  It seems it would be nice to add this so that it can be used across
several modules.  I have about 5,000 mp3s in myth music and itis slow as
crap.  This would be a great addition there too.  As you type the name of
the song/group/album, it filters the list.

>Think cell-phone text entry.

Maybe I'm alone in my thinking, but text entry using a cell phone is a lot
harder than just using the arrows and the enter key to select the letters
that you want.  

Of course each page would need to be modified to use this new text entry
widget, but I would be glad to write this addition.  I'm looking for things
that I feel are missing that I can work on.  I just don't want to do
something that isn't going to be used.

Maybe we could let the user decide which entry style that they want through
a configuration option?  If you guys need a screen shot of what I'm refering
to, check this out: http://www.pvrcompare.com/SATivo2TitleSearchText.jpg
