Pretty sure it is, but I there's not enough information in the report 
for me to say for sure, and I haven't had a chance to randomly change 
things on my setup to try to figure out exactly has been changed.

It would help immensely if someone could specify exactly which 
keybindings you're talking about--and I don't mean keys.  So, for 
example, are you talking about CHANNELUP/DOWN (mapped to Up/Down arrows, 
respectively) in TV Playback?  Are you talking about JUMPFFWD/RWND 
(mapped to PgDown/Up, respectively) in TV Playback?  What all 
keybindings are you unmapping?  I'm assuming you're not unmapping Global 
UP/DOWN (also mapped to Up/Down arrows).  What action are you seeing 
when you hit the key?  Are you sure it's a jump (where you see, "Jump 
Back/Ahead" in the OSD), and not a seek (where you see, "Skip 
Back/Ahead" in the OSD)?

And, most importantly, what behavior are you guys actually looking for?  
Are you saying you want MythTV to /ignore/ the keypress?  Or are you 
saying that you've mapped Up/Down to some other action and MythTV is 
still doing a jump and not doing whatever other action you're trying to use?

Thanks,
Mike
