Using channel up/down in guide to page up/down goes in reverse

[saturnaqua 4]

Not sure what's up here, but I'm using an Onn 4k box. As I got a new Onn 4k plus and I've heard that the android tv version will eventually be supplanted by the android app version, I installed the android (non-tv) version and it's 3.5.28. I notice on the remote, when I'm in the guide, if I use the channel up/down buttons (not the circular D-pad), then the guide moves in the opposite direction. Clicking the channel up makes the guide go down and channel down goes up in the guide. Having used the android tv version, I thought this was weird since there, channel up moves the guide up one page and channel down goes down one page.
