There are some shows that I just don't like (like Everybody Loves Raymond). There are some shows that I don't want my kids to see (like King of the Hill - animated but *not* for kids! and I don't want to watch it either).
So, when channel surfing, you come across these shows. When the kids see King of the Hill, they say "I want to watch it" because it's animated--thinking it's a children's cartoon. etc.
I would rather not even see these shows when channel surfing.
Could you add an option to support a text file, with 1 line per string that would cause it to skip a channel if the show name for the new channel matches those strings? (make it active only when hitting the 'up' or 'down' channel button, so that you can still type '53' to go to the channel)
Perl regular expressions would be great, or SQL '%string%' style syntax would work, or at least support '*string*', case insensitive.
Maybe GB-PVR could show a .25s static screen saying "Skipping channel 53 -- <show name>" quickly, to indicate a channel/show was skipped.
