Summary:
Easier navigatioin to forward day or days in the EPG by pressing the number keys on the remote.

Description:
In another mediacenter software that I have used, there was a very convenient way to navigate through the EPG by pressing the number keys on the remote. [1] moved you 24 hours ahead in the EPG, while [n] moved you n number of days ahead in the EPG. This is very useful when you want to schedule recordings that occur in a few days. I haven't found an easy way to do this in MP yet. Moving with the right arrow on the remote will only take me a few hours ahead of the current time in the EPG in MP.

You can kind of do this now with your remote. If you go up the the very top and then and you move your selection to the arrow around the date. Then you can hit select for the amount of days you want to go over... I just did it.. and it works pretty good. I am using the bluetwo skin.. so this might not be available in all skins.

I do agree that this feature would be nice... to just be able to hit 5 and then right arrow.

OK, I hadn't realized that before, but still, a one key jump to day 1 to 9 would be a whole lot easier and faster. Also, I wasn't able to find a quick way back to the current day in the EPG, which I think should be accomplished by pressing the [0] button.
