[mythtv-users] Hot Key to Program Guide

My wife is having difficulty adapting to MythTV (It's too complicated, she
says.)
She is accustomed to using the DCT-6214 DVR from Cox Cable.
To make things really simple, I took the same remote to which she's
accustomed and used it for MythTV. Via LIRC, I mapped each of the buttons
on the DCT-6412 remote to perform the exact same function in MythTV.
Her biggest complaint surrounds accessing the program guide. On the
DCT-6212, she simply pushed the "guide" button on the remote. I mapped the
"Guide" button to the "M" key. According to the mythtv.org how-to
document, this should invoke the Electronic Program Guide (EPG).
Instead of seeing the EPG, a menu is displayed. The first item on the list
is "Program Guide". So an extra push on the "Select" button is required. No
problem for me; but this seems to be a show stopper for my wife.
Is there any way to directly invoke the Program Guide without accessing the
intermediary menu?
Please, please help. I've invested a lot of work and I have big aspirations
to expand this throughout the house; but wife-support is a critical
component.
