I am agree with you, all functionalities should be available using only 
7 buttons (UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT OK BACK MENU)
The other button should be mapped to an action if the user need/want it.

The remote control input have a lot of other issue I like to fix, for 
example the responsiveness is not always great. The less button we need 
to hit, the better it his.
A quick example is the standard menu with 6 entries, those entries could 
be numbered so the user just need to press 6 to use the la menu item 
instead of 5 * DOWN + OK.
This mechanism could be available for any listbutton type ui.

I am talking only about remote here, but the touch screen input have to 
be improved so myth can be use with any kind of input.
