I'm using my tv remote with cec, it's quite limited in the keys it passes on to the raspberry (i.e, for "back" I have to press the green and the blue button), so it doesn't have an "i" key.
However, when I press the OK/Enter button while viewing a channel, I can select various options from the status line: info (with kodi 17, not 18), channels, guide, teletext, subtitles and settings (this is a screen capture of kodi 17 in my pc, I cannot use the TV now, but apart from the missing i which isn't present in kodi 18 it's the same):
Now, when I switch channels (with up or down), this is what I get (again, without the i), so I cannot switch channels anymore using up/down, I have to stop and go back to the main menu to select another channel. It seems it doesn't realize it's a tv channel and it treats it like a normal video.
