I'm using the remote shown as above paired with a Flirc for ease of use between multiple devices.
I have + ch - buttons mapped to page up page down, and the up down buttons mapped to up down on the keyboard.
What I'm saying is, the keyboard keys "page up and up arrow" have the same function as each other, as do " page down and down arrow".
What myself (and what I think others on this thread) want to achieve is: have independent keys to change channel without confirming the switch ie. page up, page down (these two keys should not change their function regardless to whether the new feature is enabled or not, they should always zap without confirming). Then have the ability to activate the new feature which would then enable us to press up and down keys when in fullscreen live tv, this would bring up the infobar screen as you would see when you change channel, but the difference is you will be able to continue pressing up and down to scroll through the channels whilst you continue watching the current channel - you can then confirm the switch at any time by pressing OK when you find the channel you wish to watch.
Fullscreen live tv, pressing up or down on this screen to let you scroll through the channels, then confirm switch with OK
At this stage from what I tested yesterday, the feature works as intended for using the up and down keys to scroll through the channels whilst in fullscreen live tv, then select OK to confirm the switch, but there is no option to zap without confirming using separate buttons as I explained above, ie. page up page down. The functionality I'm explaining is pretty much how every satellite receiver that I've used works - they have independent keys for the switch (no confirm), then independent keys to scroll through the infobar osd (OK to confirm)
