Shouldn't seem random, it should seem like it went to the last group
you actually chose via the popup menu.  It was a design decision to not
save the new group value.  For people who have buttons on their main
menu to jump directly to a specific recording group, it doesn't mean
that they want to go to that group when they go into the regular
Watch Recordings menu item.  If they wanted to go to that specific group,
they'd just select the menu item for that specific group.  The jumppoint
is designed to take you to the screen, not to a specific group.
