[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1146452, member: 141969"] This might be the same problem that I experience. It is caused by the button timeout being far too short. So single-digit channels can be selected without problem, but two- or three-digit channels timeout after you have entered the first digit and before you can enter the second (or third) digit. Most devices (WMC, my Sony TV, my Humax PVR) have a timeout of circa 2.5 seconds for buttons on the remote, [i]and each digit has its own 2.5 second timeout[/i]. The MP timeout seems to be calculated from the time when the [i]first[/i] digit is entered, and so all digits must be entered within the timeout. With WMC I entered channel numbers using my thumb, but with MP I cannot move my thumb quickly enough to enter two or three digits, so now I have to use two hands -- one to hold the remote and the other to press the digits using a finger (I can do that quickly enough to avoid the timeout occurring in the wrong place). So these days I find it simpler to display the EPG, scroll to the desired channel, and then press the OK button. Note: there are two timeouts in "MP Config", but these do not control the interdigit timeout (they control other timeouts relating to the on-screen displays). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
