Robert - I'm not running trunk, and do not recall seeing the Live TV
EPG screenshot of Graphite, but if I'm interpretting what I've heard
correctly it's only showing the current 1/2 hour, is that correct?  I
would think you'd at least want to show the current 30 minute slot and
next 30 minute slot, and let me tell you why.  When I browse a live TV
EPG in myth, directv, STB, whatever- my wife has this need to remind
me that when I browsing TV at later than :10 til or :20 after to look
at what's coming up, not what's ending.  So I would think you'd at
least want to have a slight horizon to look at on the EPG.  When
browsing the EPG at 8:58, it doesn't really do much good to see what's
on that instant, but be able to look ahead so that you don't miss the
begining of a show you might enjoy to watch.

Just my $.02.  Again, I have not see the theme in action yet, so you
may already do this.

Thanks!
Matt
