I'm still gonna raise my initial argument: How many people (in relation to the whole xbmc user base) actually change the settings of the nyxboard in xbmc? I have a nyxboard and I've only once changed a setting but just out of curiosity of what is possible; in the end I reset the value to the default. So personally I don't see the need for it to "MUST be displayed". I can totally understand the reasoning for the CEC adapter but also there it's only a small number of users that have one and that will have to use it.

In the end IMO the fewer settings we throw at an average joe user the easier it becomes to use XBMC (as long as we have sane default values).
