Please excuse me if this is possible (even via key map editing, etc.) but when I am viewing the guide, it would be convenient to key in the channel number and have the guide traverse automatically rather than having to manually scroll through my list of chamnels .
Thanks!

Actually If I have 6 different devices running XBMC I would have to do it more than once (I think, if I'm wrong, please tell me), 6 times in fact. But, I understand, I could set it and forget it. If the idea is to make XBMC the best darn media center around, then I think this is worth requesting. I'm not an XBMC developer, and I respect their time and effort, which is why I will simply make it a request, as I think it does make things easier, and enhances XBMC.

Normally you configure groups once in the backens and it will replicate to all your clients.

yep, doing it on the backend has also the benefit to work on any client, not just XBMC. But agreed, number/sms input is a valuable addition, but has to wait for Gotham+1

can't you manage the groups in your backend?

Thanks Negge, that's a good suggestion.

I'm not a coder but I would think this option wouldn't be too much to do. You probably don't have to rewrite the code for this since it already insist when watching full screen live tv.
When watching live tv, if you start to type in a new channel, a Switch to Channel window pops-up. If that same code could be used when a number is pressed in the guide menu, it could jump to channel in the EPG guide. This would also be great when go to the Channel List.
I understand the use of channel groups, but they are not a direct way of getting to desired channel without having to scroll up or down from a list. If this can be made as a option that is checked off or something that is hidden in advanced settings, that would be great.

This would really help with the WAF.

Hang in there, the suggestion is solid so hopefully one of us will find the time to implement it sooner rather than later.
