Thanks for that. However, all of my images are from high-rez vector logos. I've only got 48 ATM, but I also haven't had any requests for any other networks. If there are, I'm happy to oblige...

What confuses her? Anything I can do to help wife-ify it? I've got a slightly technophobic gf myself, so I'm always open to any suggestions you might have...

Nice. Are those reduced background images for the Xbox in there or should I just keep them and overwrite them each time?

Keep them for now. I will try to make a separate xbox folder path, that way you don't have them getting overwritten every time. Wink

This is cool - found it on google's toys for developers:

Not to in any way detract from the awesome work you've done, but give me a break. Eek

I will second this. The navigation is not intuitive, especially for TV shows. A couple of observations:

Once the user selects "Movies" or "TV Shows," the first option should be the movie/show list by title, not the genre menu. That's easily the most-used function.
When in a drop-down menu, the left and right buttons should move to the left or right dropdown menu. Pressing right to get a breakout menu is confusing, especially when pressing left is essentially "go back a level."
When in episode view, pressing left seems to go all the way back to the root menu. While you can scroll back to the top of the menu and use the ".." option, I don't think there should be multiple ways of going back up a level. The directional buttons should be limited to "physical" navigation (rather than conceptual) and force the user to use the ".." option or escape, like other skins.
In the main menu, I wonder whether the "Library" option in the submenu is necessary. It seems to have the same result as simply selecting the menu root.
