This is exactly what I had in mind when I described it.
Some TV sets have this feature on the remote control, not many german 
though but almost all US-TVs I encountered and I can tell your that it 
is _very_ practical! :-)

Now I'm curious, since I'm at work since 9 this morning and will still 
be here for a couple hours (and thus haven't had any chance to try it 
out): what does "0" actually do if it doesn't do what Klaus described?

Like that speed dial feature you have on your cellphone?

I like that ;-)
