So, pressing TV would get you to one of two possible states. Is there
any other key that can safely exit you out of that particular OSD
without any side effects? If so, than as a fallback option, you could
send the TV signal to exit out of anything else, and then a second key
just in case the TV key actually opened an OSD. Not elegant, but if
nothing else works it would be a fallback option.
