Re: Why the new/casual user has difficulty ..

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
 
I meant being able to configure the button that invokes the Remote Buddy menu. 
Obviously it is a short menu press now.. which can't be altered by 
the user (unless I've missed it?) .

Felix has confirmed my suspicion that it can't be changed in remotebuddy...

 
RB menu can't be moved/configured... if it could, would it help? 
I think if one could back up out of EyeTV the same way one backs up 
out of Front Row, 
it would help the babysitter/casual user/ "she who must be obeyed".

Not being disparaging about myself (and others on the group) but 
perhaps we're more comfortable with "nerdy" interfaces than the average user.

I think RemoteBuddy is on the nerdy end.

Serious question: have you had any non-IT females give feedback .. 
every household has "she who must be obeyed" .. 
seriously if they don't like/get it immediately then there is resistance.

I had a similar experience when I handed over the RM-enabled remote,

 
she said: "this is not intuitive"

Hi Felix,

Couldn't agree more; that money isn't wealth.

I was actually thinking arrows like (but prettier):

^ - 
|_ and |

I've noticed a few examples of < Command > that don't MOVE left (up 
in my thinking) or right (eg. station and Aspect Ratio).

Not being disparaging about myself (and others on the group) but
