Assumed I have 2 free Tuners and I zapp through the channels of one tuner. Would it be possible to tune the 2. tuner to the same time to the after next channel in change direction, so that for the next channel change in the same direction it would be possible to channge to the 2. tuner instead of changing the channels of the 1. tuner. Channels gets changed afterwords. Does this work? Is changing of the tuners faster than changing channels? Would this flicker? Does this happen already?
If you're going into that direction, I think in addition to zaps there might be a need to get back to previous channel regardless of zapping or manual channel selection. Many remote controls even have a special button for that.
You can return to the previous channel by pressing 0.
I don't know that the faster channel change time (if it even would be faster) would be worth the effort. My channel changes are 1-2 seconds. Sure I wish it was instant but I think I'll live. I usually change the channel manually or using the guide. Don't remember ever doing sequential changes but I guess someone out there does. :)
