How about "Program Listing and Video Sources," since the screen does include<br>both? I found "Video Sources" a bit puzzling at first, since it sits right<br>after tuner card configuration, and I think of my tuner cards as the sources
<br>of my video.<br></blockquote></div><br>Tuner cards record video, they are not the source of the video. The source is a TV station or something similar. So to me "Video Sources" seems like the most accurate description. But unfortunately it seems to be a term that a lot of people either have preconceived notions about, or at least interpret incorrectly the first time they see it.
<br><br>I don't like the idea of renaming "Video Sources" to "Listings Sources" or "Guide Data Sources" or anything like that because they don't represent the guide data and I don't think it would make a lot of sense to have to associate "Guide Data Sources" with tuner card inputs in the Input connections screen. Your suggestion of "Program Listing and Video Sources" is not bad, if a little long. Someone suggested "Television Service Providers" which is more accurate I think, but still possibly confusing (since you'd have to set up a "Television Service Provider" to record the output of a camera or VCR).
<br><br>Since it's not at all clear that there is a better alternative to "Video Sources", wouldn't a short explanation of what "Video Sources" are on the screen (or in the docs) be a better way of avoiding any confusion?
