last 4 channels
I recently switched to ATT Uverse bundle from Comcast Xfinity. I truly miss the "last 4" channel options when switching back and forth between shows. Uverse only goes back 1 last channel. Is anyone aware of a way to go to last 4? or is this being worked on for future functionality?

I've never even heard of a "last 4" channel option. Perhaps that's a Comcast Xfinity exclusive.

@jalexan9 - att would have to program the "last" feature to track more channels.
If you are willing to make a small compromize, I can tell you how to do it.
Most people watch the same channels, so instead of the four last channels can you live with your four favorite channels? That is myMultiview.
Just add your four channels to MM & when you want to select one you activate MM.
Another version is to get a Logitech Harmony remote model 650 or companion & program your four favorite channels.

@baseballisback, @skeeterintexas - I cannot say if att had this because I have had Frontier for over a year.
Frontier did deploy a new look a couple of months ago. It has a nice black/red color scheme that I would guess are Verizon FIOS colors.
It contained no improvements that had been identified over the last 10 years - Think Windows as warmed over DOS.
Parts of it are incredibly ugly.
It did include a last five channel look-back, but it included a bug. They applied it to the up arrow arround the OK button. But, it bled into the LAST button, effectively destroying one button channel swap, unnecissarily. That has been fixed, but there are still many faults outstanding.
Of course, they do not have the Favorites on the A button & I thnk the CC on the C button was lost. They found the original programmer for those features & were able to add two unnecessary clicks on the Favorites path.

@baseballisback Yup, a 5 channel LAST button appeared for a very small # of users for a bit b4 ATT changed that download. This occurred 4-5 years ago or so.
Pretty sure IIRC @oufanindallas had it, but I never did.

@skeeterintexas - Don't be jealous. It is more a matter of being used to it than one of usefulnes.
I believe I used it once to find the one-of-many ESPN channels the game was on.
OTOH I use the one click, one channel LAST button many times a day to either swap channels or Pause a recording
Also, just to be clear, lookback could be easily misinterpreted as looking back at what was on earlier or even live view of multiple chans. It is niether. It is an exrta selection step to change the channel. Only one box seems to be live. To monitor four live chans requires my multiview.

@jalexan9 - Ask and you shall receive - Will you take requests for more features?

It's call "Recently Watched". You have to enable the setting though the OPTIONS menu. It's: Menu | Options | System | Recently Watched. Scroll-over and change the setting to Enable Recently Watched, then scroll-left and up to Save. Then exit and test with the Last button on the remote.
