How can I change the Remote Control button timeout for channel changes?

I'm currently working on getting a better implementation of the PS3
bluetooth remote for mythtv.

While doing this I also want to be able to change the timeout between
button presses BEFORE the channel changes....
i.e. Let's say I want to press 205 and instead just press 25, at the
moment Mythtv reacts to change the channel too quickly before I can
backup to correct the error. Ideally what I really want is to enter
my numbers then press the enter key on the remote to say execute the
channel change. You might say just change the channel again, but on
DVB-T sometimes the channel will lock on a 'dead carrier' and take up
to 30 seconds before you can get control back.

I've googled but can't find any way to do this......any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance

You need to disable MythTV from automatically changing channel when
you enter a valid channum.

Specifically, you need to disable the option "Change channels
immediately without select" on the "General Basic" TV Settings setup
page.

Cheers,
Nick

You never did tell me where you were based (ish)

Have a good weekend.

OOO Nick.....Bug-et

WIth the value set either way the channel still changes without me
having to hit the enter key.

I'm running 22RC1

Could you see if it works correctly on your possibly?

Tnks

Unfortunately, even with this setting unset the channel will change
after a second or two if a valid number is put in; I'd rather have it
never change without Enter/Select, myself.
