It is so nice to be using this patch.  It has solved my single largest 
WAF detractor.

In response to Isaac's question, it took me a few times to even notice 
that the date changed as I typed, but now that I know where to look, 
it's not bad.  It could be better. Also, I find it non-intuitive that as 
I type in 25, it will hop to 2 while I'm entering the 5.  There's no 
indicator that it's still accepting input after it has hopped to 2.

That said, let me re-iterate . . . it is SOOOOOO nice to be able to use 
the number keys to jump in the EPG.  I'm happy to use it in its current 
state.
