home directory and tested.  I still get the brief flash to the main menu if
i change channels using the guide.  If I use just the up or down arrows (on
screen?) then it changes channels without issue.
I switched to terra theme and did the same test.  Terra does not flash to
the main menu at any time while changing channels.
I did notice that when it flashes to the main menu, it is distorted.  Not
sure how to describe it.  Kind of like the background is not getting fully
painted and blotchy looking.
I could switch back to a earlier theme?  I read how to do that somewhere on
this list.
Should I do that?  It is really a minor thing and does not bother me.  But
if you want to chase this down I can try anything you ask.
I still have the two tone background.  The theme chooser tells me I am on
28.8
