Even if you knew that the 45th entry in the list was the one you wanted, there's no way to tell just where the 45th entry came from...
It's simple - they don't update it at all This make me even more happy about Your new feature, as despite great usefulness of TVBGone!, it was becoming more and more outdated.

Basically, I want to allow you to start at the beginning, at the end, or in the middle; wherever you want. There's really no difference in this task whether you move forward or backwards. Moreover, if you overshoot by a bunch, it's nice to be able to move back quickly...

Hmm, actually, I wanted to try things out this way, because I always thought the scan & restart system was a real pain in the rear end. I've always hated having to sit and stare at the TV, waiting to pounce on the pause button as quickly as I can once something happens. This way feels a lot more relaxed to me; you just let up on the button whenever you want to stop.
I agree with you here - for me, current layout is more convenient, so it probably depends on personal taste.

I hope You won't take it as unnecessary feature demand, but I would *love* small button, or panel, or whatever, that would have one single purpose - to cycle, as fast as possible, through all SHUTDOWN, STANDBY, POWER DOWN, etc codes, from all manufacturers, as available on Pierogi at given time.

Sounds familiar? Sure, such simple button would be replacement for "TVBGone!" widget. as you have noticed on Your own, the latter is horribly impossible to update, as opposed to well-maintained Pierogi. Why Pierogi couldn't make "TVBGone!" obsolete, then?
