I don't know why Totem is called "Movie Player" but I don't feel
comfortable with it. If every piece of software try to use a generic
name, then I would get 3 "Movie Player"s in the menu if I install also
mplayer and vlc, which looks ridiculous. Plus, isn't the GenericName
field inside .desktop file for a _generic_ name? Is there a guideline
for naming stuff anywhere?

Whatever it is named in the menu, thanks for the work Michael, really
like this software.

Cheers,
P.D.

Me TV's menu item is named "Digital Television"

Status in Me TV, it's TV for me computer: Invalid

Bug description:
After installation, the menu item says "Digital Television" which should better be "Me TV", as the latter is what it is.

Although "Me TV" appears in the file /usr/local/share/applications/me-tv.desktop, it is the value of "GenericName" instead of "Name".
