I installed MCL for about 3 months but the GF complained that it was easier (and quicker) to read the name of the channel than it was to work out what it was from the logo. Especially in cases when the logo gave little to no indication of the channel name.

Mind you this was for the UK, so the situation in other countries will be different – but as nice an idea as MCL is, it ended up being uninstalled because it didn’t actually improve the experience.

I’m in the UK and MCL actually passed the wife test for me!

I understand that sometimes the text is easier than the logo. For me, usually that is not the case for quick browsing. The great new part about Version 2 of the program that was alluded to in the article above is that you can have any combination of logo, text and channel number, in whatever order you want. So now you can get the best of both worlds- logo and text!

Last time I tried to have more lines in the guide, I couldn’t see what programs I was recording as the red record icons no longer appeared next to the program. (I think the icons were too large for the grid). Do they appear with this application?

You should be able to see all icons in the guide. The settings were meticulously chosen to make the guide look its best- including preventing that situation. Of course, you’ll notice that MCL only goes up to 11 rows- any more, and it would start to get cramped.

I haven’t had any troubles with it since I installed the changes. I’ve got mine set at 9 rows, I felt more than that started getting too cramped for me. Eleven rows fit on the screen but the shear amount of text was too much for me, perhaps why I prefer logos over callsigns.

Really useful tool, I dont mind paying the small price for it.
Only wish it would do all channels, 71 all in all for UK

If you send in your “help make autopopulate better” file in the Settings tab, it could be improved. Also keep in mind that even if logos don’t match automatically, they logos themselves can still be found in the programdata/mychannellogos/logos folders.

Thanks! Donated for sure…..don’t mind at all. Keep it going, it’s an awesome program. I know at least 5 other people who use Windows media center.

Clicked on the 10 dollar link. Gotta support people that put out a good product. This program has worked without a hitch right up until the other day. I updated Win 7 to SP1 which included the hotfix that was supposed to fix the white pixel line issue on the right side of my TV. It fixed that, but broke MC2. If your customizations are gone, you need to uninstall, then reinstall to get it working again. Make any change, apply, and you should be good. Good program. Only two stations didn’t have an icon. One was a local, and the other was Fox Sports Midwest. Having the choice to go to 4 rows with the mini bar is a really nice touch to an already nice main guide upgrade.

Great app!!!!!! Much better than the crap text that comes stock. MS should’ve included this out of the box. I had to buy it 3 times B/C reformating & stupidity/failure to save the file but IT WAS WELL WORTH IT & I’d do it again!

Thanks
