Great app and thanks to all for the hard work.

It would be really helpful to add a numeric keypad to the remote in many cases especially for live TV.
With the new Kodi HDHomerun App, you can switch channels by scrolling through a very long list of channels
or by entering the channel number directly.
The numeric keypad would make it a lot faster to switch to the right channel.

Anyway thanks for a great app.
Yep, a numeric keypad for live tv could be an handy addition.
In the meantime you could try to use an undocumented feature: if you long press the bottom right button (the pictures button), the OSD channel list will appear during the live tv. Also if you long press the "tv shows" button, the current channel EPG window will appear.
Thanks for the tip about long press. It seems to work ok with live tv, but does not do anything when using the new Kodi HDHomerun App.
It helps a little, but a numeric keypad that would work in both situations would help a lot.
