Comment:

 Attached patch, mythtv-remove_smart_channel_change_setting.patch , "fixes"
 the issue by removing the "Change channels immediately without select"
 setting.

 IMHO, the "Change channels immediately without select" setting cannot be
 justified since a) enabling the setting means that other MythTV
 functionality (such as the arbitrary seek functionality) will not work
 properly with certain numeric input (any numeric input that matches a
 channel number--meaning users will see confusing results) and b) with the
 setting disabled, the channel is changed upon the input timeout, which
 seems to be about 3s (and is the behavior the reporter desires).

 Unless someone provides a reasonable argument for keeping the setting, I
 plan to commit this change to trunk in the near future.  Note that the
 setting is disabled by default, so likely the majority of users have it
 disabled and will see no difference in behavior after the setting is
 removed.

 icj, please disable the "Change channels immediately without select"
 setting (in Utilities/Setup|Setup|TV Settings|General , first screen) to
 get the behavior you want.  Thanks for bringing this old setting to our
 attention.
