Simple, you want to go to that specific channel you press the following four buttons [8] [.] [1] [enter]. TVs with built in ATSC tuners support a [.] button on the remote just for this.
The x.y channel numbers are ONLY for terrestrial over the air broadcasts, cable/sat etc generally use integers.
If your just channel surfing you hit the [up] button to go from say 8.1 to 8.2 and if there's no 8.3 then the next channel say 12.1.
Like the previous poster, I've always used the up/down or guide on mythfrontend, but I'm fairly certain it would work the same if I ever tried.
