This wouldn't effect my usage that I'm aware of.  However, I have a small 
nitpick about the current key bindings.  Most remotes these days have the 
four directional buttons as well as channel + - buttons.  As it currently 
stands, it is logical to bind up/down/left/right to the directional buttons 
on the remote.

This way navigating through both the main gui and the EPG feels natural.  
Also, as with several DirecTV receivers I've had experience with, I can bind 
PgUp and PgDown to my ch+ ch- remote buttons and move up and down through the 
EPG a full page at a time.

My nitpick is with mythtv, which uses the up/down keys to change channels and 
the PgUp/PgDown keys to skip a large chunk of time.  Since in tv mode 
left/right is used for ff/rw, would it be unreasonable to swap the bindings 
for up/down PgUp/PgDown to make it feel a little more consistant with the 
rest of the myth suite?
