YouTube TV is adding a previous channel shortcut to return the user to their last-watched channel.
A long-press of the “Select” or “OK” buttons on YouTube TV will soon return users to their previous channel.
...
Lets try to start a standard here on CDVR.
Long press on OK / Select button for all devices does Previous Channel.
If you try this now the playing video stutters between Stop and Start, so long press seems available.
I know there is currently a way in the works to do previous channels and be able to select from 3 previous channels I think, that's very good,
BUT a quick Previous channel button like YTTV is doing would be nice... and a step towards some kind of standardization.
Currently there is no way for Previous channel on Google TV, Android TV like the Firestick can do,
a double click on Play/Pause, because there is no dedicated Play/Pause button on these devices' remote.
Thanks for considering.
We'll look into adding double click as a function for previous channel for those Android TV remotes without a play/pause button.
But, we have no plans to change our existing gesture for previous channel.
Double click on what, OK / Select?
That wold be most welcomed.
Thanks
