As I understand it, non-"visible" channels can still be viewed in Live TV,
but I think you have to type in the number--I think it's skipped in the
guide or by channel up/down. If you want to watch a game live, that may be
an option. And when you upgrade, your "Any time on this channel" rules will
be automatically converted to "Any time on any channel" rules with the
"This Channel" filter set. I used 0.25 for quite a while (on Gentoo) and
about 2 months ago I upgraded to 0.27 (skipped 0.26). It's been generally
an improvement all around. Not everything that was broken from 0.24 to 0.25
was fixed, but it's generally better.
