The numbered (0-9) buttons

[raptoger]

Can the numbered buttons(0-9) of the silver MVP remote be set to change channels directly? (ie press 505 to go to HBO)

thanks

This is a great question... any takers???

hit the channel number then the ok button and it will change channels.
eg
"5" "0" "5" "OK"

I tried that but no luck. Are these set up in the irremote.ini?

works here (with the OK button)

If you're on an MVP, it could be related to the new version of the Hauppauge file dongle.bin. The new version which is included with v0.90.x works well with the new 45 button remote, and supports the new "fully transparent OSD" option, but I have noticed it's a bit quirky with the old 34 button remote when video is playing.

If you've got time, you could try going back to an older version of the dongle.bin to see if it helps, but make sure your disable the  "fully transparent OSD" option.

As it is now, I see white numbers appear on my TV screen when pressing on the control but disappear quickly before I press "OK". Is this the normal behavior?

From memory you've got to press enter within a couple of seconds, or your missed your chance.
