WMC Layout Customization

#1

Is there a Show Wall in WMC like a netflix layout similar to HD Homerun?

So during a brief downtime of WMC I had to use the HD Homerun app, and I found a great feature there where you could search by show, sporting event or, movie. It was a big wall of shows that would be on tv in the next 14+ days, you can select and record vs just scrolling through the guilde. Is there any feature like this that has been created for WMC?

Thanks adam, i poked around that link a bit. Looks like there is a tool there that adds additional features. I will keep digging at it later today, but wondering...
1. Did you send it because you know it has what I am looking for
2. Did you send it because that might be a good place for me to look.

Thanks

I *think* it has what you're looking for, but most certainly Recorded TV HD is something to look at.

The closest thing you will get for upcoming TV shows would be the built in movie gallery found under your movies strip but that will only show movies. If you want to view the shows, or movies you already have then you could go with something RTVHD or Emby. Emby will have the most eye candy but it won't show you whats in WMC's guide data. It will only show you what you already own.

are you refering to recorded TV hd? Or something I must have overlooked in the current install of WMC?
