[mythtv] [PATCH] Live TV interface tweaks

[Matt Felsen]

Sorry, forgot to mention that part. I changed the bindings for the 
guide so that space/return/ok tune to the selected channel and i brings 
up the recording options while in the guide from live tv, and all 4 
keys bring up the recording options while in the guide from schedule 
recordings. I submitted a patch a while ago, but I guess it never got 
committed.

You do bring up a point about the limited buttons on a remote though. 
Obviously, the first solution that comes to mind is to make it 
configurable. I know there has been some talk of configurable keys (and 
global keys)...maybe it would somehow be integrated into that. However, 
since configurable keys are probably not going to be implemented in the 
near future, maybe extra lines can be added in guidegrid.cpp which 
would be commented out, and there would be a description on how to 
change the bindings in the howto.

Just some more ideas at 6:42AM.
