Yes. This is how I did it.

I included these and then restarted the backend. No messages.

I'm not sure what you mean here.
I've found a bit more. Seems channel changing works when specifically
entering a number such as "13_1". When I do this I also get output in
the backend log. Thus it appears that the UP/DOWN arrow keys are not
valid for channel changes however they do make the OSD show up like it's
going to change the channel.
How can I restore the UP/DOWN key function when watching Live TV?
Thanks,
Drew
