[QUOTE="2BitSculptor, post: 583156, member: 65661"] The problem is the visual cues given by the Guide and Mini-Guide. My wife sees the order of the channels in the guide, and the associated up/down buttons to move up/down the list, as well as using the channel up/down button to page up/down the list and relates that to changing the channels in live TV.
