Works fine here, so I think you're doing something wrong when you assign the function to the button?
The way hotkey works:
* if no function is assigned, the key doesn't do anything
* if one function is assigned, the function starts directly (like with your long-press yellow)
* if more than one function is assigned, you get a selection menu (like with your long-press EPG/Guide)
By default the EPG/Guide button has "show single service EPG" assigned to it, so you need to remove that, and assign "Graphical Multi EPG" to it, and not forget to press "Save".

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.
