Channel pad

in this version of the card there is no longer a "channel pad popup" with preset channels. this is to give each user the ability to create his own list.

"channels" configuration is not mandatory. if "channels" is not configured the remote control will work normally but you will not be able to use the channel pad. pressing the button on the remote control you will receive this message.

New Features Config

in this new version we have implemented some new features:

1. customizable and incremental app button

   option: sources: ( if you do not configure this option, the remote control will display the default apps)

2. customizable channel pad
