Sky+HD Query

[Dodger666]

Connected Sky+HD box today in place of Sky+ box.

After having set the favourites I notice that if watching channel 101(BBC1), then press the blue button, instead of seeing what's on channel 102(BBC2) it jumps to 105(ChFive). If I keep pressing the blue button until it goes through all the favourites until it gets back to 101 then it does go to 102, 103, 104 etc.

Anyone know why it doesn't to start with? The old Sky box worked OK.

Could be because you have activated Favourite Channels in the Menu system and you need to re-set it

Not sure what you mean redman.

I activated the favourites in the Favourites section of "Services". How else can you do it? I went through the list ticking the channels we wanted as Favourites then saved them. everything works fine except it jumps from 101 to 105, missing the ones in between. Obviuosly the missed channels are ticked as favourites.

That is why it seems to be jumping Channels deggers as you have marked them as favourites

before it goes through your favourites it goes to the previous channel watched

[GKU35]

then through the favourites in order from the position of the previously watched channel. That's why the button has previous/favourites next to it

Thanks GKU35.

I actually read the instructions last night and they confirmed what you said. I don't see the point in it being designed to do that. In reality if you have been watching Ch 501 then go to 101 and press blue at some time you jump back to 501. I think the old method of jumping to the next channel in your favourite list was better. I don't see what the improvement is, assuming there's supposed to be one.
