Description
This entry is a replacement for 3283, which was mantis'ed under MediaPortal rather than TV-Server.
Description edited after a discussion in IRC showed that many people did not understand the problem.
If you scroll up/down using page up/page down, you can sometimes find that you are focused on a program that has already finished. This was fixed for single channel scrolling as mantis 3075.
There is also a second problem. Focus on a program in the first channel in your EPG. Assuming there are 10 rows in the EPG, then when you hit page down, you would expect channel 11 to become the top channel, and to be focused. What actually happens is that channel 11 is focused but it is at the bottom of the screen, so you have only scrolled 1 channel.
How far you scroll on page up/down depends on the focus position, whereas it should always scroll 10 channels (if you have 10 rows in your EPG - depends on skin).
Original descrption follows
---------------------------
Scrolling up/down (OnPageUp/OnPageDown) in the EPG is implemented as a series of calls to OnUp/OnDown. Choosing to scroll one program at a time selects the correct best program match but doing the same with paging does not.

Note from Andy
------------
In addition, it looks like page up/down doesn't work well generally. Most STB's choose to maintain the screen position of the selected guide entry while the guide pages (moves) behind the selection. MP moves the selected item to the top (on page up) or bottom (on page down) and then scrolls behind that screen position.
Note from SilentException
--------------------
I've seen cases that only UP / DOWN has trouble selecting "the best" program.
For example browsing down would jump to the program at the end of current timespan view for one channel and then next down would jump to correct position.
Doing two UPs on this same example worked fine.
And vice versa, doing UP would be screwed on some channels, doing the same scrolling down would look OK.
