I  think the best and most logical way is to switch channel and leave the EPG on
OK  (enter/space).  Selecting  a channel and pressing OK is what i would do if i
didn't know how to do it ;)

Advanced recording -> info (i).
Chaning views -> EPG (m)

That's the way i've got it at least (minus the new view part)
