We need a recall button!

We need a simple recall button badly!

Just streamline the double play/pause button to recall the last channel. Easy and can be pushed out to all platforms.

Hi, can you explain what you're referring to a bit more so we understand?

A channel recall button. Not sure how to explain it. I am watching a channel change the channel and want to go back quickly without going into the guide.

Got ya. Know exactly what you mean now.

Thanks

Hi.  If you have this button on your remote control, the Android TV and Fire TV apps will already use it.  Also, if you sort your guide by last played, a simple "up" will produce the guide and then two clicks to get to the last channel.

On the old remotes of the 80's this was called "Last Channel". Basically was same as "back" button. But you can only go back 1 level of channel change.

I’m aware but dislike it. I like to have my channels organized alphabetically so I can tune to a channel in order.

If I use button mapper, what should I be using to map to a physical button?
