[linux-dvb] Re: Entering file names ...

["Reiner Rosin" <r_rosin@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I agree with Klaus on this whole Name-thing, leave it as it is ;)...
... ok the handy-style makes some sense, but this matrix????
And even with T9??? I hope you made a joke ;) ... you would
even need a TV-compatible T9 version (I never tried to enter
Simpsons or Futurama on my cell-phone).
The only thing I could imagine is to shorten the number of letters
available for entering a name (uppercase/lowercase).
But, at all, don't touch this function please, Klaus ;)

bye, reiner
