Channel wrapping in live-tv

[Matti Lehtimäki <matti.lehtimaki@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

One small feature I find is missing from vdr is to have the possibility 
to go from the last channel to the first channel and vice versa when 
changing channel to next/previous channel in live-tv mode. This is the 
normal behaviour in most TVs. So I made a small patch for vdr-1.7.11 
(can be applied also to vdr-1.6.0) to make this possible with a menu 
option to enable/disable the feature. Would it be possible to have this 
feature included in future releases of vdr?
