On the subject of Page up/down moving 100 channels - I don't think the absence of this feature on exCWC is any excuse for it not being on LCR3 - taking the best features of both platforms would be better.
A much better excuse lies in the practicality of it - with channels reordered, how would it work? With an example channel order of, say, 101, 400, 103, 910, 812, 125, 126, 140, 930.......... What would Page up actually do?

Yes, the TV button IMO is not in a great place for frequent use on the original remotes (it's better on the new ones). The arrow buttons do bring up the Mini Guide, but this disappears after a specified delay (assuming no further interaction). The default delay is 5 seconds but you can bump it up as far as 30 seconds or turn it off altogether, although you still need to use the TV button then to get rid of it. The main limitation of the delay for me is that, if another screen is displayed (e.g. programme info or reminder), the delay clock keeps ticking. This means you might browse so far, display programme info only to see the Mini Guide disappear and you have to start from the beginning again. I've found myself learning to use the TV button.
You make a good point about the page up/down feature wrt reordered channels. How did this work, if at all, prior to LCR3?
