Firstly, apologies for the cryptic title - it's the best I could come up with half way through the second production week on the trot!

We've noticed that when using the "Active Channels" flexi mode, non-active channels are not selected when using 'thru'.

For example: if you put the console into the flexi display mode, "51+53 @ <FULL>", "51 <THRU> 53 @ 50" - you get 51 & 53 @ 50, but not 52.

I can understand wanting this function from time to time - but would have thought you'd use the syntax "51 <THRU> 53 <SELECT ACTIVE> @ 50".

So....is this intentional behaviour? or is it a bug coming from the Next-follows-flexi fix?

Cheers,

Dave

Dave,

 

Thru is dependent on the current Flexi State, so the same scenario would occur with Patched or Show channels for instance. Thru Thru however will select all the channels in the range, active or not.
