When kodi moved from confluence to estuary, the waste of space was reduced by moving the horizontal menu to the vertical left. I really like this approach! However, for pvr we have a list of “recently played channels”, which is nearly the only interesting information on that homescreen. By default, only 4 channels are visible, and vertical space is wasted by horizontal scrolling. Take a look at the screenshot below.
Current pvr view:

I would like to suggest a vertical scrolling pvr wall as option for estuary, as I draw on that screenshot:

So, my wishes – please:
- add an option in estuary settings to hide the “Categories Panel” on top of pvr view
- add an optional vertical scrolling wall option for pvr view
Why should this vertical scrolling wall be optional?
All other submenus movies, tv shows, … have horizontal scrolling. This makes sense, because there are multiple panels, like “Recently added movies”, “Unwatched Movies” … There is no space lost. But switching this only for pvr would break the usability.
Another approach would be: leave the horizontal scrolling, but let the user configure the number of rows of a panel. For TV channels we could set it to 3, the space would be better utilized, but it is still consistent to current horizontal scrolling.
@Developers: Would it be possible to add this feature configurable within the skin settings?
@other pvr users: What do you think about this idea?
