Using a rotary encoder for volume would be a nice ergonomically, but
could take up too much space on the remote depending on button size. I
wouldn't use it for channel changing, which should (IMO) be a clear
single up/down event. Just imagine the confusion MythTV could have
when trying to change channel (inherent tuning delay) when the target
channel keeps changing.
