Changes (by mdean):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => invalid


Comment:

 It turns out there's a subtle difference in behavior.  When enabled, the
 setting:

 Change channels immediately without select[[BR]]
 When a complete channel number is entered MythTV will switch to that
 channel immediately without requiring you to hit the select button.

 will result in MythTV changing the channel /immediately/ upon pressing the
 final digit in a numeric value that uniquely matches a valid channel
 number while watching Live TV.  With the setting disabled, MythTV will
 change the channel after the OSD timeout--as most other DVRs, TVs, etc.
 tend to do.  Note, also, users with the setting disabled may hit SELECT to
 change the channel immediately.

 I will admit that the setting leads to confusion (as it confused me for a
 couple of days, too).  Upcoming changes will remove the setting and
 attempt to provide the best behavior for all users without the confusion.
