I agree in general, but I really want all of the hard buttons at the bottom available for my satellite tv - since I will have menu up/down/left/right, select, Guide, Info, and Exit buttons, and if those are all hard buttons it'll be very easy to use.

I have been thinking about the mislabelled button problem, though, and what I'm planning on doing is putting a "?" button on each page which links to a help screen showing what the bottom buttons do for the current device.
