Coming into this discussion late...

In Master, in the non-LiveTV EPG mode, there's now a menu item "Watch This
Channel" which starts live TV on the selected channel.  I think this is
what you're looking for.  The only reason this wasn't back-ported to
0.27-fixes is that it adds a new string that needs translation, which is
something we don't do for back-ports.
