Hi,
I wondered, why XBMC doesn't contain an option (a little numeric keypad or so) where I could directly tune a certain TV channel by it's channel number. For example, when I watch channel #4 on my favourites list and want to zap to channel #96 immediately, I have only two options:
1.) I zap through all channels between #4 and #96, which takes an eternity,
2.) I use the scrollbar on the left/right side, depending on how it was opened, scroll to the channel that I want and click on it.
Both options aren't really comfortable. Better would be, if there was an addon, which creates a virtual numpad on the left options bar (sorry, I don't know the real name of it). That's the bar, which can be popped out if needed on the left side of the screen. There, I could simply enter '96' in my example.
Also tried to use the Guide function in XBMC, but it's loading so slow on my Android, that it's quite unusable.
Would be nice to have such a numpad. The search function here on the forums didn't show up any result.
