There is nothing stopping you from modifying your keymap to add/change a button to bring up the "Channels OSD" while watching Live TV.

Ok, tell me the function i have to map ;o)
however, i found the needed function for my skin ( ActivateWindow(PVROSDChannels) ).
but it would be an improvement to have an general key for this.

RE: Discuss improvements for pvr section - metaron - 2017-03-12
Any comments on my PR to create a 'standard' method of displaying PVR entries: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/11783 ?
I think it's a good idea and seemed to get some encouragement initially but would welcome feedback from a wider audience.
Discuss improvements for pvr section - hoppel118 - 2017-03-12
@metaron This is great! I would like to see a typical order of seasons and episodes (for example S01E01, S01E02, etc.). At the moment my tv show recordings are a mess. I don't know which episodes I have and which I maybe miss. Keep up the good work. I can't help with coding, I am a user.
Greetings Hoppel

My FR are:
- create thumbnails for Recordings (VDR) https://github.com/FernetMenta/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver/issues/70
- fix the Player.StartTime bug when playing Live-TV http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=307468
- Display remaining time of the showed program on channel up/down http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=283629&pid=2380054#pid2380054
- Add timer -> "record channel" or "switch to channel" http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=283628&pid=2380048#pid2380048

- create thumbnails for Recordings (VDR) https://github.com/FernetMenta/vdr-plugi.../issues/70

If your backend supplies season/episode information for your recordings you can do this already with Krypton.
1) download https://github.com/xbmc/skin.confluence (latest master) to your .kodi/addons folder
2) Switch to using confluence as your skin (using the latest master you just downloaded)
3) Sort your recordings 'by File' - (Title Season Episode OriginalAirDate EpisodeTitle) rather than 'Title'
If you would prefer to keep using Estuary, you could try downloading the latest version, then editing MyPVRRecordings.xml as per the change in https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/11000 to add season/episode numbers to the recordings list.
Thanks for the encouragement!

KN switch timers are not visible in "timers".

Another advantage would be, the switch timers would be visible in the EPG (like the ones for recording).

Player.TimeRemaining (Player.TimeRemaining) should show the remaining time of the program which "VideoPlayer.Title" shows.
The variable above is working for the currently watched programm, but not if you check whats on the other channels with up/down. The remaining time stays the same, but VideoPlayer.Title switches.
When go to the new channel with "OK" then value of Player.TimeRemaining changes.

What would be the benefit with a Switch timer instead of just recording the show?

I can think of 2 reasons:
- You don't want to use up disk space for a recording (especially relevant if you are running out of space, or your streams are MPEG-2
- Your backend does not support recording, such IPTVSimple or HDHomeRun

3. you want to watch a live event, but don't want to watch the "pre-game" blabla
4. you are watching TV atm, but not on the channel of your "timed" program together with 1.
