I’d like to have the ability to make a timeslot schedule with my personal library so that I can schedule shows to play sequentially in time slots. For instance, I would like to have Star Trek: TNG to play every Friday night and 8pm followed by X-Files at 9pm. Perhaps even making this a “channel” so that I can go to my personal channel and watch what’s on at that time. I’d also like random Star Trek tng on every other weekday at 7pm. So I should be able to add it twice. A random run mon-Thur and a sequential run for Friday’s. It would be great if the customization layout looked like a TV guide that you can just fill in and also make this channel feature shareable so my friends sharing my hard dives can watch my channel’s schedule

One thing media centers fall short on, however, is recreating that feeling of aimlessly channel surfing just to scratch that TV watching itch. &nbsp; Why Do I Want To Do This? &nbsp; More and more people are “cutting the cord” a…
