My MythTv knowledge is not so well, but is it possible to make a
"touchscreen theme" ... which has on every page one "Menu" (and one
"Info" button? There is usually enough space on the screen for one-two
additional buttons in the corner. Sounds simple or is it just me?

And scrolling might also be be a problem?
