[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1199987, member: 141969"] In the TV and Radio EPGs, the numeric digits move the focus to an EPG cell for the channel specified. If that channel is not currently in the visible part of the EPG. the EPG is scrolled to position that channel on the screen. Looking at my notes for the "Centarea HID", I see that there is some difficulty with respect to the "0" (zero) button. In MP 1.12, using either the keyboard or a Microsoft MCE remote, entering "0" in the EPG resets the size of the EPG timeblock to its default size. This assumes (of course) that there is never a channel with a number of zero, and that users won't want to select a channel by typing leading zeros (e.g. type "0101" in order to select channel "101"). The problem is that I could not get this special function of "0" to work with the "Centarea HID", so that capability is not supported by the "Centarea HID". It will be interesting to see if General HID has the same problem (perhaps we will be able to find a solution!). There is an MP function called "Default Timeblock" that can be assigned to any key or button, and that definition can be made to apply only to the TV and Radio EPGs, so it need not consume a button elsewhere within MP. So absence of "0" performing this function would not be terminal -- the capability would still be available, but accessed differently. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
