[mythtv-users] Custom channel surfing

[Jeff Simpson]

I like the idea - I already went through and physically removed all
the channels I didn't watch (QVC, HSN, GOLF, all the religious
networks, CMT, etc). I still have to wade through the less popular
ones that I don't want to delete because they might have a movie on
that I'd want to watch or something.

My cable box has a "favorite" button, works like the channel up
button, but only goes to the next "favorite" channel. Unfortunately,
it didn't have a channel-down equivalent.

If comcast/motorola makes it in a consumer product, it must be a good idea!

Only problem is, now we need an interface to select which channels are
the favorites, and a more complicated one if we're going to have
multiple sets of favorites.
