Bug Description

In tvtime, one can change the channel with up/down/scrollwheel, and by
typing the number of the channel. However, scrolling involves flipping
through a large number of channels you're probably not interested in at
that time, and typing means remembering the number for each channel. It
would be nice if there was some sort of 'channel list', displaying the
channel names, from which the user could choose the desired channel.

I think very usable feature is ability to choose channel from menu. It may be item in current transparent menu which will contain item list presenting channel names which are currently set up and allow to choose channel from a list.

So this will allow very fast and useful channel switch behavior:

1. Use key "u" to open osd menu with channel list.
2. Switch to required channel in one click in a list.

Getting late for Ubuntu, but it should be fine for this FFe, so approved. Moving back to ubuntu-sponsors.

Is there anything that can be done about the fact that tvtime is so divergant from Debian and upstream at this point? Perhaps you could consider taking over the project or forking it as you seem to be the most active person working on it. That way many more people would be able to benefit from your improvements.
