Rovi's 'Liquid' media guide skin replica or view mode clones?

Thought the community's creative types may be inspired by a look at Rovi's (formerly Macrovision) 'Liquid' media guide/EPG:

I am not requesting this as a skin (others can of course).

Just something of interest for our skinners. Wink

Looks nice but I really got to wonder how they link thumbnails of episodes to it when it hasn't even aird yet

thanks for sharing, it is indeed nice. I'm not such a fan of the EPG though

It may look good, but it's not very practical. in the second picture, I wouldn't want to see the tv guide like that. and what happens if a program starts at 8.30 and ends at 9.30, this wouldn't be able to display that.

"Better of ted" starts at 8.30, so I guess the box just goes beyond to the next if it ends at 9.30.

Looks good, but to me a plain minimalistic EPG is the way to go, but when we have an EPG which is skinnable it's going to be one fun ride to see what the amazing creative people that are in the skinning community of XBMC to see what they can bring to the table. My guess is some extraordinary EPGs will emerge.

@Jezz_X I think they just link an old or the show icon or something, but yeah, it doesn't look half as cool then Smile

I only see fanart-type images, no episode thumbs.

Yea I like it a lot. I actually like the way the epg looks. I would like to see it fully animated.
