A month or so ago I made a suggestion that has been implemented. If you 
press SELECT on a show that is currently on it will change to that 
channel. If you press SELECT on a future show it will bring up the 
recording dialog. If you want to record a show that is currently on you 
can just press 'R' to start recording it.
