Let me guess:  you didn't use the Edit Keys section of mythfrontend to 
edit your keys?  Many of the function keys are already mapped in TV 
Playback, so you likely have conflicts--which Edit Keys would have 
prevented.

MythWeb's key bindings editor doesn't flag conflicts--thus the big 
warning in red at the top of the page.  Similarly, direct DB editing 
won't prevent conflicts.
