#4434: Have JUMPPREV act as PREVCHAN in Live TV; delete PREVCHAN; fix #4433

     Type:  patch           |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  minor           |   Milestone:  unknown
Component:  mythtv          |     Version:  0.20.2 
 Severity:  medium          |     Mlocked:  0      
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 The attached patch for 0.20.2 does three things:

 * Delete the PREVCHAN binding. It is now useless, because . . .
 * . . . The JUMPPREV binding now perform two functions, depending on the
 context: 1) As always, jump to the previous recording (when not in Live TV
 mode), and 2) jump to the previous channel (in Live TV).
 * Along the way, fix the bug with JUMPPREV I describe in #4433.

 Why I wrote this: I have a PREV CH button on my remote, bound to 'H'.
 Without this patch, and with the default keybindings, PREV CH jumps to the
 previous channel in Live TV (PREVCHAN) but does nothing when watching a
 recording (JUMPPREV). If I assign the same binding to both functions,
 JUMPPREV works but PREVCHAN doesn't. With this patch, I can now use one
 button for both functions.

 I realize that it's not common practice to include in a non-SVN release a
 patch that's not purely a bugfix, but a) perhaps it'll be of some use to
 the developers for SVN and b) perhaps other 0.20.x users will find it
 useful.
