I use Channel Groups in mythfrontend to store different user's preferred channel lists (i.e. myFavs, Wife's Favs, Kids, Movies, etc) during LiveTV.<div><br></div><div>The only easy way I can (currently) figure out how to change channel groups is that the user has to bring up the guide, and then send a "/" to cycle through the channel lists in the Guide. </div>
<div><br></div><div>(I have the following settings checked which really seems to me to be the best way to use Channel Groups in LiveTV (these settings have to be selected to see menu options I mention later in this email</div>
<div><br></div><div><div> TvSettings --> General --> "Remember Last Channel Group" & "Browse/Change Channels from Channel Group")</div></div><div><br></div><div><b>Question #1:</b> The text for "Remember Last Channel Group" says: 'If enabled, the EPG will initially display only the channels from the last channel group selected. Pressing "4" will toggle the channel group'. It sounds like "4" would allow the user to toggle the channel groups, but it just tunes to channel 4. It doesn't seem like this text is correct, in that it implies there is some way to change the channel groups with a 4 keypress. Is there a way to use "4" (or some other key) to change channel groups that I am missing?</div>
<div><br></div><div><b>Question #2:</b> In LiveTV, there is a great menu that presents the user with a choice of channel lists (instead of just cycling through them). I would love to program a button on my remote that would bring up this menu directly. I can't seem to find anything in the key editor, or jumppoints that would allow me to access this menu with a button. Does anyone know if there is (or could be) a keybinding for the LiveTV Channel Group Selection Menu? See below for the menu I am asking about:</div>
<div><br></div><div> During LiveTV --> 'm' --> Playback --> Channel Groups ---- This brings up an excellent channel groups selection menu, but I have to do 10 or 12 clicks to get to it. I suppose I could try to 'chain together' a bunch of Lirc commands, but that would still be slow, and I assume it would fail sometimes....</div>
<div><br></div><div>I appreciate any help or advice..</div><div><div></div><br>
