Thanks a lot for active feedback.

Manual, yes, would be good. Any volunteers with good writing skills and a wiki site? I guess could use the wiki here as well.

A quick and dirty way to clean the program list is to change the download format (you can then change it back without downloading anything). I did implement a quick list-cleaning option, but there were some problems with that, need to make another try.

Indicator that the download is really progressing is problematic, because it is hard (for me, at least) to detect that the bits are really flowing. I could try decreasing the block size a bit and add some kind of a rotating indicator... Not a big priority, though, at the moment.

Local list of keyword searches is local to the device and not stored on the server, while of course searches are made against the programs stored on the server. I personally do not use the server-side list at all anymore, but rely on the keyword searches to find all the shows I am interested in. (So no, you do not need to have any shows picked to your personal lists on the server in order to be able to download them.)

Option for disabling updating the information based on server settings sounds like a good idea. Would essentially enable two different sets of searches, one for computer use and another for the phone.

Regarding auto-downloads: I have been avoiding those, considering the not-always-connected device and potential data fees some people might have. In my experience with other similar appications, these tend to be more trouble than they are worth - Leaving home? Need to check first if I have some programs downloading...

Auto-delete sounds like a nice idea. I am assuming you would like the downloaded file to be deleted as soon that it has been watched to the end?
