[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10691"] I am advised over in "Bugs" that my Direct Channel Access 'bug' isn't a 'bug' but rather a feature (reminds me of the old software joke if you can't fix it feature it :-) So, here I am in Feature Requests to request that some mechanism be provided in MP so that when in TV Fullscreen or Preview pressing the channel number actually selects the channel not the corresponding item in the channel database (i.e. pressing "35" selects channel "35" not the "35th" item in the database.) The present method requires the entering of the database item's index number not the channel ID which is counterintuitive to me, and perhaps others, in North America. And it is impractical with a channel list of several hundred cable and satellite channels --- the workaround of adding dummy channels is equally impractical in this situation. As there is apparently a community of enthusiasm for the present index method, I propose that a checkbox option be provided in the configurator to select which method is to be used to select "Channel ID or Database ID". Thanks [/QUOTE]
