I am trying to create a button on my Q50 which essentially
when pressed banks the channel i am currently watching.
Then after browsing through other channels waiting for
commercials to finish i could press the button again to
go back to the original channel. I couldn't think of a
way to do this but was hoping someone else could. The
main problem is to figure out which channel i am currently
watching.
The only chance you would have is if your STB had a way of storing a Fav channel, and if you could create a macro to change that on the fly. I don't think it's out of the question, you would do something like this:
- create a button (function key) called mark channel
- create a button (function key) called previous channel
- Make the markbutton a macro that configured your FAV channel via cable menu
- Go to other chnanels, do your thing, etc..
- click previous channel and it will execute a 'fav' command taking you to the channel.
