Comment:

 (In [7689]) Fixes #513. Fixes some text input issues in LiveTV mode.

 The problem is that with smart channel change enbled you
 can't enter a value for the Teletext page or the arbitrary
 skip that has a partial match with a channel on the current
 source listings source.

 The solution for teltext/cc is to make users enter the Teletext
 key before entering a teletext page number, and then either press
 the Teletext key again or press select. If the user wants to
 perform a simple toggle they simply have to hit the key one extra
 time within a 500 ms time window.

 For arbitrary seek I didn't want to add any new seek keys so
 I added a binding for *, which enters a safe arbitrary seek mode,
 which you then follow with the same seek buttons as before. If
 you don't enter this star character the old behavior is preserved.
 i.e. if doesn't alias a channel it skips, otherwise it changes
 the channel if in smart keys mode.

 I also made it possible to select any teletext page, or use
 any of the common ATSC subchannel separators, so long as the
 entry begins with a number. So you can enter 5-1, if that is
 how you named your channel, without needing to change the
 audio select character or the subchannelsep character.
