Hello,

    Is it possible to switch between two TV channels on the fly? In WMC it was the OK button after selecting second channel. Very convenient to avoid commercials in live tv.

Thank's

I'd like the "Back" button to work, too, for the same reason. Flick between what I'm watching and the footy to check the scores every now and then

Agree, back button like with WMC would streamline TV usage. My HP Media Center remote has a button that looks like a TV with a play button in the middle. When I press it I get the message "The TV Channel 0 was not found." Thought that might be it but no luck.

On my remote I can hit the "+" "-" buttons to change TV channels on the fly - but sometimes it causes the picture to freeze (going from SD to HD and vise-versa). I found that it is the RO+HQ setting (using MadVR) that is causing the issue. I then setup Custom Video Mode to use EVR for TV Viewing. Note that this freezing issue may have been fixed in .201+, I haven't retested. But it takes MC 4 or 5 seconds to start playing a new channel so switching back and forth to skip TV commercials doesn't offer much of an experience except 10 seconds of silence.

EDIT: Sorry I didn't understand/read your question (title) completely, your asking about a "previous channel" button, not switching channels on the fly.
