Then maybe mapping "P" to both pause and play on my remote was
not my smartest possible move   ;-)

I guess this falls under the category of "you learn something new every
day".  When I get home I'll try enabling the SELECT feature in setup to
allow changing channels from EPG if the program is not in the future.

I wasn't implying that noone else but me watches live TV.  It just
seemed like not enough people were using live TV to generate
feedback that I would have expected about the keymapping change.
I guess not knowing about your previous change would tend to
indicate that the reason for this is that everyone but me knows about
that feature.  As I said, I guess I was just being dense   ;-)

Thanks for the feedback.  I'll try it out and post again if I still have an
issue.
