That's how I do it too. I mapped 'Y' to the blue button on my streamzap 
remote.
It would be nice to seemlessly integrate all guide data into Browse mode.

It would also be nice if LiveTV honored card priority. I had to delete 
and re-enter my cards
because I wanted HDTV to pull up first in LiveTV, even though my HD card 
has a higher
priority in mythtv-setup.
