You haven't got it wrong. The key you press is the right arrow key which has different functions depending on what you are doing. My post states that a small menu appears which it does.
I do sometime wonder why manufactures do these things. Thy had/have a well designed well received ergonomic remote for the Freesat and Freeview 2000T models that is a pleasure to use. The one button press skip feature is a real plus so they abandon it in order to make the button on the newer model have different functions and so by doing so make it more difficult for the consumer.
