Come to think of it, I have used the 1 button before but I always 
assumed it jumped ahead by 1 day or some kind of increment I never 
really bothered to consider.  I really don't spend much time in the 
guide so when I found they were mapped it seemed extra to me and 
actually was strange since at the time I was trying to use the 1 key for 
sorting elsewhere in the application and found it already taken.
