Hello, sorry for the late reply!  I think that must be related.  When I
hit "select" (space bar or enter apparently) after typing an arrow key,
the channel changes.  But it's still not working completely.  Whether or
not the box is checked- I am forced to type select after hitting an
arrow key.  And whether or not the box is checked, I don't have to type
select after typing a number (although if I don't hit select there is a
slight pause before the channel changes).  Maybe it will be fixed in the
next version of mythtv.  Thanks.
