Having spent last night setting up a detailed config for my PVR 250 remote 
for use with MythTV I would also support the standardization of the 
keystrokes.  I am intending to install Weather and Music today and hadn't 
realized I would need even more keys/buttons to make them work.  It would 
be nice if the keystrokes for nav and submission etc were as consistent as 
possible across the entire project.
