Naturally, I prefer to call the key with the provider's name or logo "Home" on a Pay TV remote.
Would you do that?

I do not see a "no"-alternative, so voting is not possible. 
The semantics of a vendor-specific key is almost never sensibly defined, and almost always vastly different from the semantics of a Home-key. |

| Noam Chomsky couldn't have put it better himself, when he wrote: | | The syntactic component of a grammar must specify, for each sentence, a deep structure that determines its semantic interpretation and a surface structure that determines its phonetic interpretation. |
