F7 is the key that /used/ to be bound to the SIGNALMON action (brings up 
the signal monitor) in the TV Playback context.  That key has been 
replaced with the Alt-F7 key sequence in 0.21 and beyond for those users 
who have not modified the default value (i.e. if you had ever changed 
SIGNALMON from F7--i.e. with MythControls--your custom key continues to 
work).
