A similar thing occurs in other places, such as the Guide (probably Favourites too, but I'm not sure). It seems as though pressing up/down performs the same action as page up/down when at the vertical boundary of a page. This may have been done deliberately to facilitate faster vertical navigation using the up/down buttons, but ultimately I think it's counter-intuitive. I don't think there's any need for this behaviour in the Guide since the same action can be performed using the page up/down buttons; up/down should always move to an adjacent channel. This also applies to the Mini Guide, which only displays 2 programmes per page so it's often the case (at least for me) that clicks saved by skipping 2 programmes ahead are used up by having to go back one when it skips too far ahead. I personally find it a more frustrating experience as it seems obvious (again, at least to me) that the EPG is not carrying out the instructions I gave it, rather it is taking a guess at what it thought I meant. Interestingly enough, the Front Row listings don't have this behaviour; up/down always move to an adjacent film, regardless of whether or not you're at the page boundary.
