Way To Hide Unwanted Channels!

[henderson_tony]

Okay, so I don't have a way, or maybe I do. More so posing a question. Alot of people want a way to hide unwanted channels, and are happy that the new software allows this for channels under 100. My question: Why not just set up favorite channels ommiting the ones you don't want. I did this awhile ago, and its very convenient. Just wondering?

Quite a few folks do this already. The problem is with the FAV list it doesn't default to the channel you are on in the PG like it does in "All Channels" now.

Ya good point. Inadvertently i just found myself using the regular channel listing b/c i wanted to start from the channel i was on. So i guess i bounce back and forth. Hmm..maybe an improvement would be for the fav to default to the current channel.

I have my favorites list set up but sometimes (or usually) I like to surf the channels using the surf bar. It's annoying to have to skip over the movie channels that I don't subscribe to.

I don't worry about it ...all I ever look at is the "HD Only" PG

I am doing that too, but I find it very inconvenient:

1. I like to browse channels (by pressing ChUp/ChDown). Unfortunately, it is not possible to limit the channel sequence to Favorites only, and browsing through dozens of empty channels is no fun.

2. I can use a colored button in the Surf Bar to surf through Favorites, but it requires several clicks and only works in one direction.

3. I would like to be able to use the Favorites list for its main purpose: to identify several of my favorite channels, not to store the entire list of channels.
