The problem is, that the channel selection does not work in a proper |
| 26 |
way: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Suppose you have the channels: |
| 29 |
A B C D E F G |
| 30 |
* |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
* => currently selected channel |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Now (in vlc) you press N for "next". "B" gets selected. "N"...nothing |
| 35 |
happens. "N" .... "D" gets selected. "P" (previous) ... "C" gets |
| 36 |
selected. Sometimes you have to go even three steps forward and two |
| 37 |
backward to get a certain channel selected. |
| 38 |
A few channel sometime are not selectable at all.... |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Same with mplayer...so it is not the player itsself... |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
What can I do? |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Any help is very appreciated !:) |

Best regards, |
