Change the preview while still in the guide

[obba]

When browsing the guide, is there any way to change to a channel, but still be in the guide, to have it show up in the small window top right?

We could do this with the 921 and it was great. But we can't with the newer 622. Its one of only two things that I miss about my 921.

Now a less useless answer, seems like I remember such a feature being mentioned on a Charlie or Tech Chat once, you could push a button and change the guide window to show that channel while not the channel you were watching was still there waiting in case you cancel. This would obviously require a dual-tuner in single mode.

I only heard it mentioned the one time with no timetable.

The 721, as well, has this really neat feature of changing the channel of video in the picture while the guide was displayed. I like it a lot.
