I agree, I will probably consider doing that. The main reason I chose poster is because I currently don't use logos for my movies although I'm planning to get them soon and I figured other users may not have them either but everyone has posters. With my terrible DSL connection it takes forever to download all of the images for my collection but maybe I'll just fire it up overnight and let it roll. Good suggestion! Keep them coming, I like hearing new ideas.

also it will be great to display the channel logo instead of channel name text

Looks awesome! I wonder what the EPG looks like? The main problem I see in all the TV Guides for PseudoTV is that they are all tiny. Not well suited to see from the couch.

It's hard to get a good idea of the size from the picture, I think it's a pretty good size but I'm fairly close to my TV and it is a 40" Plasma that I'm viewing it on. However, that will be part of the release testing that I mentioned. I don't want to just throw the skin out there and say "Hey, it works fine for me" - I want to try to help as much as possible without having to individualize it to one person i.e. "can you add this or that" something simple like "hey, the text is kind of small" are things that I would be interested in fixing or implementing. Not saying I don't want to hear ideas or feature requests, because I do - especially while in the design phase.
Thanks!

Zep - I noticed in some of your skins (looking at the pictures in previous posts) that you were able to get channel logo to show up in the epg for each individual channel. I can't seem to figure out how to do that, can you point me in the right direction or send me some example xml files to look at? Thanks. Also PM'd you in case you don't check here.

Great work! I'd love to see the colours a bit more subdued as this feels a little bright, but hey, considering you're doing this for free for the greater XBMC community, I'll take what I can get.
Thank you!

tman 12, grt work and I absolutely love the new subdued colour. I have one question - when you press the info button, does all the info show up or only the first line? . I have a problem where only the first line shows and it doesn't scroll down on its own or if I try to. Its very annoying.

It looks exactly like it does in that image - that is just a screenshot of me using PTV in XBMC. There are definatly some issues with info screen in PTV though and I'm going to ask around to see how to fix it For example, the last sentence in the screenshot above is missing a period at the end - it seems like the end keeps getting cut off a bit. I tried adding a scroll but it doesn't like the code for some reason so I'm going to have to ask about that as well.
Also, I may end up going with logo instead of poster like the one poster suggested. I was playing around with it and the sizing was too difficult, but when I went to bed last night I started thinking about it (I'm obsessing a bit) and I realized that I can use a different image setting to keep the logo aspects similar. Again, the main reason for holding off on logos is the fact that I don't think a majority of users are utilizing them - I could be wrong though. I'm really liking the new EPG though and I think I will stick with those colors except for probably the overlay will change so what you see above is most likely going to be the final layout. Hopefully more screenies tonight!
