scrolling through channel list causes EyeTV to change channels on cable box

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. setup: eyetv on mac mini, ZephIR IR blaster control on cable box
2. enter EyeTV from FrontRow menu
3. enter Favorite Channels item
4. scroll through channels on remote control using up and down

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

ZephIR sends channel changing commands even when scrolling through the list. It 
shouldn't tune 
the cable box until a channel is actually selected.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Mac Mini 2.0 GHz, 10.6.2

Please provide any additional information below.

Should be able to reproduce the problem with the information above.

Unfortunately, this is caused by a limitation in EyeTV's applescript interface.
In order to get the program info, it's necessary to change channels.  I don't 
like it
either, but I don't have a cable box, so it's not a problem for me, and I prefer
having the info about what's currently playing.

If it bothers you and you want to turn off the program info, edit

/System/Library/CoreServices/Front
Row.app/Contents/PlugIns/PyeTV.frappliance/Contents/Resources/etv.py,

and delete every line in the "GetProgramInfo" function except for
    return False,{}
