Personally, I thought the way the programmers handled this issue was pretty darned clever.... but then maybe that just makes me weird....
When you are using the remote to go to a particular channel by using the channel number, the box tries its best to guess where you are trying to go, and do it in the fewest possible key presses. For example, if you press "
2", then the pop-up menu will show all possible channel choices that begin with "2" or "02" or "002", as well as any locals that might fit the bill (like "(24)", for example). If the next key you press is "
0", then it shows everything starting with "20" or "020", as well as local "(20)", if present.
Suppose your next key is also a "
0". On my particular bird setup, that reduces the possible choices to just one:
200 - CNN (well, OK, two really, because you can still choose to select it on T1 or T2).
So for all intents and purposes, that leading zero can be ignored. And for the true geeks out there, this is called a "fuzzy search". I swear on my pocket protector......
