RE: Favorites

I don't know if this applies or not, but I've had to reset my "Fav" channels on most the exchanges. It was getting so obnoxious that I finally wrote them down to allow me to figure out and input the ones I needed in the various categories, like NEWS and SyFy.. my created ones. Rarely will the box pick up the supposedly "SAVED" info that it claims to have. Sometimes it only save 4-6 stations..

Hope that helps a little, a PITA to keep having to do it again and again, and again..

I just finished doing exactly what you suggest. I hit "remove all" of my favorites as much as I hated to do it. I then reloaded all of them going thru all 600+ channels and moving the ones I wanted. Very tedious and frustrating but two of our three tv's are now done. The aggravating part is that I could see my favorites and the list was correct, but there was no way to actually view them and the program guide only listed 8 channels and would not change pages.

But I have now found a way to do it, PITA for sure. Some of the new stuff is good, some features we lost are sorely missed, but it is what it is and the good news is that it now works as it should and the program guide now rotates thru the entire favorites list again.
