Try setting up a time in the "schedule manual recording" screen. I
think you won't be happy. Even in other screens, don't you expect the
big "select" button in the middle of all the arrows to be able to set
a checkbox? Does it really make sense to you that pushing the
"rightarrow" button sets it and the "select" button dismisses that
screen?

I have a wireless keyboard/mouse for that ;-)
