Hi da-anda,
Sure, sometimes i'd get a wrong channel. But the current implementation only covers exactly one use case: you switch with the number keys directly from channel A to cannel B and want to come back again from channel B to channel A. And this is a rather narrowed functionality. With "my" approach more use cases are covered...this one by the way too...
I'm aware of this features, and for sure i use this features...but only in some situations (cool movie i want to watch for instance). Am I the only one on this planet who is watching TV without using his brain? 
For me it is some kind of relaxing just to stare in the box and not to think about how i do that. May be Kodi is a too sophisticated solution for that...
But nevertheless...i'm an experienced sparetime C++ developer. If a developer would kick me in the right direction and give me some hints where to start to dig into the Code, where the "last channel" Feature is implemented and what is the best approach to start a "timer" (may be in some Kind of a Action Loop or with a separate thread) to remember the last channel only after x seconds, i'd try to implement this feature on my own. For sure there should be a chance that a PR about this feature has a Chance to be accepted then
Cheers Louis
