1 Guide view

After a hotsync, the initial screen will show the Guide view. This view supports regular TV guide functionality; it lists all the scheduled programs for today per channel, and provides a more detailed description for each program upon request.

Additionally this view enables the creation of a 'to-watch' list for today, which will be shown when you switch to Schedule view. Since one typically watches particular programs on a regular basis, the application can automatically include those programs in the to-watch list the next time they're on. This is indicated with a positive rating for the program.

Programs that weren't selected for the to-watch list last time will be given a negative rating, based on the assumption that if it wasn't interesting last time, it neither will be this time.

When composing a to-watch list, a filter can be enabled that skips negatively rated, uninteresting, programs and that also skips positively rated programs that will be in the to-watch list anyway. This "todo filter" enables a quick browse through the programs that might be worthwhile watching.
