[QUOTE="kaliatech, post: 22303, member: 15173"] bump. Just another happy MediaPortal DirecTV user that really wishes direct channel access was an option/plugin. As is, the only way for me navigate channels is to go the TVGuide and use lots of page-ups/downs to find the right channel. I subscribe to the most basic service and I still have a few hundred channels. To add to the feature request a bit more, on the TVGuide display, entering a number (1 to 4 digits, plus <enter> probably) would auto scroll the TVGuide selector to the desired channel nbr. In the fullscreen TV view, entering a number (plus <ENTER> probably), would automatically tune that channel nbr. There are at least three different threads on these forums discussing similar requests. This one seemed to be the most current. I do see some difficulties in staying compatible with the Europeans due to the extensive flexibility of MP itself, but it seems doable via configurable options. I'm also a .NET developer and am becoming familiar with the MP codebase, but it sounds like there are others already working on this. ...I hope. ;) [/QUOTE]
