Thanks for the update!  I'm going to make some time later this week to check it out.

Smart Potato v2.5 is now available on the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace.

• Updated initial Splashscreen

• Fixed wrapping on Guide date for two digit months

• Scrolling in the guide should no longer cause inadvertent clicks

• The guide now initially shows favorites only

• Fixed display where some shows weree either not found or show no data when selected from the guide

• Main Screen is now more "Metro Style"

• Swiping up or down in the guide will now move up or down, respectively.

• Other Showings Panorama Item when viewing an item from the guide

Unfortunately Silverlive support did not make it into this version.  We have had some success with 2nd generation phones running Silverlive and supporting mp4 video.  Hopefully the next update will have some support for Silverlive and mp4.

Can I ask what the difference between the lite version and the paid for version is, as I couldn't see any details to show the difference,

Thanks

Tony
