Mouse switching control

In order to allow a 3 button mouse (or scroll wheel mouse) to be used to change channels, it is first necessary to enable the feature using the process described here. For details about switching using a mouse - see Selecting and using computers.

Note: When mouse switching is enabled, the click of the centre button (or wheel) will not be passed to the host computer - the rotary action of a scroll wheel will, however, continue as normal.
