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.

But what are you actually seeing after switching channels? Is it the right channel with just the wrong controls on the OSD?

Something must be very special with your setup. Nobody else ha reported any similar problems.

Do you use a custom keymap?

Is it reproducible with any channels or only with certain combinations?
