This is "expected," isn't it? Frustrating enough that I've been
patching it out of my codebase for many years. Ever since the day it
was introduced (and I believe it was introduced before there were
customizable keybindings)

But those specific keys are hard-coded; I think the logic is, if
you're watching a recording and you press "Channel Up" (or Down) it
does a jump. If you're watching LiveTV it does a channel change.
Something like that.

I think Mike Dean had said he was planning on changing it, but no
doubt it's far down on his priority list.
