One possible solution I could imagine would be to reset a timer
every time the channel is switched, and if that timer exceeds a certain
(configurable) limit, the channel that was tuned to at that time becomes
the new "last channel". Something like this:
- channel 1 has been being viewed for quite a while
- user switches to channels 2, 3, 4, ... and doesn't stay on
any of these for more than one minute (his configured timeout)
- user presses '0' and gets back to channel 1
- user switches to channels 2, 3, 4 and finally stays on 5 for more
than 1 minute
- pressing '0' still gets him back to channel 1
- user switches to channels 2, 3, 4, stays on 5 for more than 1 minute
and then switches to 6
- pressing '0' gets him back to channel 5, since that's the last one
he stayed on for more than 1 minute
Setting the timeout to 0 (the default) would result in the existing
behaviour.
What about that?
