    QUESTION - What Bugs or Usability Issues do you have with your Hopper?

    other problems beyond the organizational ones: the guide should be configurable. There should be options for update time [another night owl]. PTAT sucks up all the resources & seemingly has a mind of it's own, there should be configuration options deeper in the programming I've turned it off...

    QUESTION - What Bugs or Usability Issues do you have with your Hopper?

    signal improvement
