</div>You can assign a key combo to bring up the program guide or other<br>
"jump points". I can hit Alt+G to bring up the guide from whereever I<br>
am in the menus. Similarly Alt+R takes me to Watch Recordings and<br>
Alt+T takes me to Live TV.<br>

<br>
</div>Even though many people use MythTV for watching live TV, I think<br>
you'll find that it's geared more towards recorded TV, and therefore<br>
that gets more development focus. When I first started using MythTV I<br>
too looked for a way to start watching a channel live directly from<br>
the program guide, but I didn't figure out how. Eventually I realized<br>
I'd rather record it than watch it live, anyway. To record something<br>
and immediately start watching it, you could hit R to record, then<br>
Alt+R to jump to Watch Recordings, then arrow to it and hit Enter to<br>
start watching.<br>
