2021 Siri remote: option for channel surfing with up/down buttons

Wow!

This new feature is great, we're loving it over here. One idea to consider, please. A client setting to optionally reverse the commands as DOWN/UP instead. Because we use the guide a lot, and then when we're channel surfing it feels unintuitive to press UP, in order to go down (in list of channels we just saw the guide,) and DOWN, in order to go up.

Kind of like macOS' Scroll Direction: Natural setting. Or not :slight_smile:

Totally agree!

I agree, this would be great to have as a toggle in settings.

Yes, got my vote for this as well.

The double-press on Right or Left has been standard in Channels to skip to the next/prev commercial marker.

  • Double press: skip to the next commercial marker

I am not able to get this to work ? ON latest beta build?

I checked again and noticed it works if it is at the point to where it is going to skip the commercials then it works, but it will not skip if it is in the middle of a show like it does with my IR remote ?

IR Remote allows me to skip commercials at any point when playing a show in the middle or at any point, it will skip forward or backward ?
