Ah, now I see. So you are _always_ watching live tv in Transfer Mode.
I'll need to set my system up to do the same and see what happens...

The color buttons have no real meaning during live tv.
If you use keymacros.conf to give them some meaning, then
I would assume that you are able to memorize that meaning ;-)

Well, pardon my ignorance (and I also don't mean to offend you or
your parents), but how is a menu system supposed to work if the user
is unable to read what's written on the screen?

What about assigning the UserX buttons to the desired functions?
You can teach VDR up to 9 user defined buttons when learning the
remote control keys, and use keymacros.conf to assign them to
what you want.
