Choose a key that's not currently bound to anything.  Go to 
MythControls.  Find the NEXTCARD mapping in the TV Playback context.  
Map the chosen key to NEXTCARD.  Return to LiveTV.  Press the chosen 
key.  Enjoy.

I think the issue here is you're not understanding how C and Y are /now/ 
supposed to work.  Generally, though, most users--especially analog TV 
users--will just want the NEXTCARD binding (and won't need C and Y).  
The only reason it's not bound by default is because adding new key 
bindings tends to cause problems to anyone who has changed the default 
key bindings, so unless some functionality is critical, the devs try not 
to map a default binding.

For the short story:

the rest of the story (ROTS):

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/322930#322930 (note 
that the second ROTS post suggests how to re-map keys to make it work 
more like you're used to).
