OK, so while I'm waiting for my TV tuner card to arrive, I've been looking
into mythweb. Here are a couple of patches for your consideration:

1) Patch to listings.php - adds > move forward in time arrows to each row
of the listing, so it's easier to navigate from the middle of the listings.
Adds the time slot hours to the bottom of the listings as well as the top.
In an ideal world they would be in a fixed position on screen and not
scroll, but that would require frames.

2) Patch to settings.php and banner.php - there is now the option to display
UNIX fortune messages (I was getting tired of the same 3 quotes over and
over). The default behavior remains so there is no requirement to have
fortune installed on your system.

The two patches may are independent.

Regards,

Dan Schwarz
