[mythtv-users] Confused over changing channels via EPG

[Dave]

I logged this issue (or rather i posted here) a long while ago and it 
seems it's still not fixed in SVN. Neither can you use the number keys 
to select a channel number whilst in live tv in SVN, nor can you select 
it in the program guide and press OK to jump to a channel. It's broken.

Since i have channel numbers numbered in single digits (1 ... n) onwards 
then it seems everytime i press a digit on my keypad to yupe say a 4 
digit channel number, it only switches to the last keypress numbered 
channel and it never waits for a OK/Select to be pressed. This is even 
with the "Change channels immediately without select" set to OFF under 
Tv Settings-> General.

Annoying to say the least.
