I have been able to solve this. To exit the Frontend, there is a separate 
keybinding that must be set to Backspace too. In the TV Playback context there 
is another keybinding named "Clear OSD" which is bound to Backspace as 
default. Removing this binding, lets me exit the player using Backspace as 
Escape.

This problem still persists. Anyone has an Idea how to fix/workaround this one?

Thanks,
