I have the guide button on my remote mapped to bring up Program
Details.  The info button would be more logical.

Here's my preferences:

SELECT brings up a context sensitive menu for the currently
highlighted item.

MENU brings up a context sensitive menu that for everything else on
the current screen.  I'm not sure if it's truely necessary, but the
SELECT action menu options could also be added as a submenu here so
that everything was accessible from the MENU action.

That's on my todo list.  FYI, that's not saying much as my todo list
has been more like a wishlist for way too long.
