This behavior makes perfect sense to me and doing it the way you
suggest would be incredibly inconvenient. Think about it from a
usability standpoint. In your scenario you have to click back to the
regular time slot and then you can continue browsing channels as
normal. Now assume that my show is over in 15 minuts and there is a
commercial on so I browse to see what is coming up next. I can just
click over to the next time slot and scroll through all the channels
to decide what to watch. If it were changed to the way you suggest
then I would have change channel then change time slot, then change
channel and then change time slot, and so on for each channel. It
would be unusable.
