Ok, lets say i have a really big rc with lots of buttons. And let's also
say i'm playing mp3's. Now there is the possibility to scroll through the
list of mp3's and have as Background the life view of a station. Maybe the
tv station does not send what i want to see as background. (zapping until i
find some interesting) Now i need a dedicated key for up and down and also
for channel up and down. 
But in file play mode i need then another set of up and down or play and
stop buttons.
What i mean is that you will end up with a big set of exception rules for
everybody need and nobody will really be lucky. Or you have to play god and
to define a fixed set of keys. 
Hmm, that's why i'm not lucky with the handling as it is. Also no
possibility to define macros like a setup button and so on. 
I think mapping of different buttons to same actions does not help and
dedicated keys are to limiting.

Just my 3 Eurocents.
