Summary: When selecting a channel from the EPG, display a pop-up/indicator to show that the command has been registered, and ignore any remote commands until after playback has started.
Area: Interface / TV / EPG
Description: It takes quite a few seconds from selecting a channel in the EPG to it actually starting to play (at least in Stop mode, which I'm using). During this time, there's no feedback to the user that the command has been registered, and so sometimes they might use the directional keys to test whether they can move around the EPG (if they can, obviously the command did not register). However, if the command did register, this tends to result in the playback doing wierd things (skipping back, etc) when it does start and then the user has to correct this or even stop and start again.
So I suggest that (a) as soon as the user selects a channel there should be some sort of pop-up or indicator displayed to show that the command has been registered and (b) from the moment a tuning command is received until after playback starts (or fails), any remote commands (or at least the directional keys) should be discarded/ignored.
