First: I don't think that changing the frequency is the most common operation 
in the channel dialog. There are other operations you could do. Like changing 
the order of channels... I really hate when I just want to do that, and it 
changes away from the channel I'm watching.

Second: double click - it may not be a common practice to everybody (tough 
some Windows background could help :), but there is/was the Display button 
for those who don't find out about that feature.

Yes. I agree.
But that can be solved by changing to that channel when somebody presses the 
Edit (or Display) button.

Yes there are operations when you _need_ to see the channel you edit, but 
there are those where it is not necessary.
