You need to hit SELECT (by default Return/Enter/Space)--*and* you need 
to run current 0.22-fixes (r22824 or higher) *and* you need to select a 
show that's currently airing or that starts within 15 minutes.

Or, you can use MENU (m) and then select "Change Channel" (which works, 
regardless of what show you have selected.

That's all changed.  There's no longer an option to change which key to 
use (that's what key bindings are for).  And, now, MENU does exactly 
what it's supposed to do--it shows a menu.
