[mythtv] [patch] two channel quick change

[Alex Krohn]

Hi,

Below is a quick change I made that you may find useful if you only have
channels from 0 - 99. Basically it's an option so that on the myth changes
channels immediately upon the second keypress rather then waiting 3 seconds or
waiting for an enter key (so if you press 1 then 2 it changes immediately on
the 2). I also changed it so that if you press 1 and then don't press anything,
it does not change the channel, but will fade away.

I made it an option, but am not sure on the option name. Also, on my tv, if
you hold down the 1 key, you can then enter > 100 channel numbers, but I
wasn't quite sure how best to implement this, or if it's even worthwhile.

Let me know what you think,

Cheers,

Alex
