<div class="bbWrapper">Use this thread to discuss the widget test - including the widgets themselves, creating widgets, or anything that is not an &quot;issue&quot;.<br /> <br /> Please see the issues thread for info on how to join the test, or how to activate widgets on your receiver.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">The selection of widgets is very limited, but right now it is early...<br /> <br /> There will be a software for creating widgets as well. It&#039;s a little over my head, but anyone that is experienced in web development, they can probably do it easily.<br /> <br /> One change I noticed from the early testing is that they made the actual widget screen (the image you see after selecting a widget) bigger, taking most of the screen, over 50%. I&#039;m curious if you guys think it is too big or just right?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">You need to place the widgets on a server (scott can do it to satguys server if you want to pm him).<br /> <br /> After that, you complete the submission form on the widget.directv.com website, then they evaluate it, and if they choose, approve it for everyone to use.</div>
