Unfortunately. I don't think my workload with my current job would
allow the time for much of that.  Maybe at some point that could
change, but not in the near future I'm afraid.

The main purpose of this feature was to allow easy switching between
all channels and favorite channels in mythweb, just as you can in the
frontend.  I use OTA channels and record 99% of what I record on my
favorites (mostly the main muticast channels like 4.1, 5.1 etc), but I
do like to easily be able to check out what's on others without having
to jump all the way to the settings.

I think there are definitely a lot of users who would like it.  Should
I log a bug and attach the patch for the current master?
