Originally, I had three jump points set with the following key combinations:
Main Menu:                       Ctrl+L
TV Recording Playback:           Ctrl+R
LiveTV:                          Ctrl+T

You're a genius.  I removed all but the Main Menu binding and it worked
fine.  With a press of Ctrl+L I jumped into the main menu and it stayed
there.  I re-set my LiveTV key binding to Ctrl+T.  I tried to jump back to
the main menu again (from livetv) and it jumped straight to livetv just like
it was doing before.

I changed main menu to Shift+A, and it stopped working completely (I don't
know why Shift wasn't recognized...oh well).  

I then changed Main Menu to Ctrl+F12, and unset the other two.  It worked
again as it should.

I then re-set LiveTV to Ctrl+T, and presto, it kept working.  LiveTV jumped
me to livetv and Main Menu jumped me to mainmenu.  I then re-set TV
Recording Playback to Ctrl+R and tested all three and they work as designed.

So I now have a working system.  That was odd to say the least...  Could it
have been a bug?  Of all the keys on the keyboard I could've chosen, I
randomly select a few that don't jive well.  No wonder google was turning up
nothing.
