Hi,
One small feature I find is missing from vdr is to have the possibility to go from the last channel to the first channel and vice versa when changing channel to next/previous channel in live-tv mode. This is the normal behaviour in most TVs. So I made a small patch for vdr-1.7.11 (can be applied also to vdr-1.6.0) to make this possible with a menu option to enable/disable the feature. Would it be possible to have this feature included in future releases of vdr?

I haven't tested the patch, but it sounds useful to me. I wonder if it's really necessary to make this configurable though - why not just go ahead and do the wrap-around unconditionally? VDR has more than enough config options already...

Well, I for one would prefer to current behaviour over wrapping.

Finally an one-click way to directly go to channel 1431 (BFM TV, yet another french news channel) - that's what I was waiting for. vote++ for an option to disable this behavior.
Cheers,

Exactly, me too. Because new channels added by VDR tend to end up at the end of the channels list.
Do you mean switching between the last channel viewed and the current channel? or channel.conf wrap around? Because last channel switch is already in by pressing the 0 key.
