Description
From the mythtv-users thread:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/406147
Disabling the option to 'Change channels without select' in LiveTV does not stop LiveTV from changing to an existing channel if the digits entered represent a valid channum.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
It turns out there's a subtle difference in behavior. When enabled, the setting:
Change channels immediately without select
When a complete channel number is entered MythTV will switch to that channel immediately without requiring you to hit the select button.
will result in MythTV changing the channel /immediately/ upon pressing the final digit in a numeric value that uniquely matches a valid channel number while watching Live TV. With the setting disabled, MythTV will change the channel after the OSD timeout--as most other DVRs, TVs, etc. tend to do. Note, also, users with the setting disabled may hit SELECT to change the channel immediately.
I will admit that the setting leads to confusion (as it confused me for a couple of days, too). Upcoming changes will remove the setting and attempt to provide the best behavior for all users without the confusion.
