oh, right...

from what my memory serves, the dev list discussion came down to this:
There needs to be a way to see what channels are available on the
tuner your on, and one way to see all channels available. It was
decided that for the time being the browse mode would only show what
was available on that tuner while the LiveTV guide would show all
available channels.

Just awaiting someone to make this whole area more user friendly for a
future release.
