Cannot add OTA channels to a Favorite List

[bookworm370]

I think this has not been reported before.

If you have an OTA adapter and get some sub channels like MYTV or METV they appear in the All Subscribed list. You can add them to the one of Favs lists and they show on that long string when you add them. But they are not saved to the Favorite list and not displayed when you select that list.

If you go back, those channels you added are no longer in the Favorite list.

Sort of a big one for us, WAF watches a lot of the retro shows which are aired on those channels.

Sorry, I must have missed it. Yet another reason for a master bug list thread. Thanks!

Well, I've read several posts that say they can be saved, though I don't remember if there was a trick to it or not.

Mine kept them saved at first. Maybe a couple of days. Then they were gone. IIRC this was an issue in the early HWS days, and the trick was to add them to your FAV list, and without hitting "back" to save, unplug the box, then plug it back in and then they would stay. I have tried that with the H3 , but it didn't work.
