[QUOTE="The_Keymaker, post: 1070023, member: 146163"] This problem is still present. Changing channels using the guide or mini-epg is successful, but directly entering the channel number does nothing. Well it does something, but it's very strange. While watching TV in full screen, if i enter a channel number say '244', nothing appears on screen or sometimes only the fist number, '2' and then after some time, the remaining numbers "44", neither of which are valid channels for my provider (DirecTV) and the channels does not change. I've checked all my channels in TV server and the channel numbers are correct. I'm using MP 1.6 and have an HDPVR 2 as capture device. My channel blaster is my custom plugin, but i know that's not the problem as selecting channels from the guide or mini-epg work AND the same behavior is exhibited when using the DIRECTV-SHEF plugin to change channels. While attempting to determine a cause and solution, i discovered an frustrating quirk of MediaPortal: While in full screen TV the numeral '0' is the default keyboard shortcut for 'last viewed channel'! This is a very poor choice for obvious reasons. When entering a four (4) digit channel number with a leading '0', say '0356', the channel switches to the previous channel, then displays '356' on screen and finally switches to the correct channel. I'll see about changing the keyboard shortcut for previous channel to something that makes more sense. In the meantime, any suggestions on the faulty channel change by direct entry? [/QUOTE]
