[QUOTE="sdf, post: 1198795, member: 25238"] This a clear example of what I'm trying to say. If you go to [URL]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mediaportal-2-weekly-snapshot-2016-05-03.134275/[/URL] you can see that channel by number has been implemented for the first time in MP2 in may 2016 weekly snapshot (after I talked about the problem in the forum problem. From the server part, there's nothing new, because it uses the same MP1 tvserver. The first development snapshot is dated november 2014, (as I can see from the forum, can't remember about earlier versions, maybe there are). I don't want to blame developers, but when I'm passing from MP"1" to MP"2", it's very strange that a very basic feature of tv watching, like change a channel by number, is implemented after one year and a half. You're saying that livetv is something of the past, that now there's netflix, etc. I don't know how much this is true.
