Is there a shortcut to flick back and forth between channels? Say, I am watching Paramount (127), then flick to MTV (444), can I pres one button to flick back and forth?

If so... What is it? I can't find the destruction manual lol








Thanks

 

What happens if you press back up?

 

Nothing I like where you are coming from though

 

No, but you can set favourite channels and then press blue to scan through your favourites!

 

Can't do that I'm afraid Tony but as Phil says, the favourites do come in handy!!

 

Bugger, thanks Phil and Jimbo

 

As above. Aren't I helpful lol.

 

Windows Media Center is one million times better to use than Sky+ when you get used to it! Just one button to flick between previous and current channel, and it remembers what channel you are watching when you go into the guide unlike Sky where you have to find the bugger again every time you press TV Guide

 

Errr, yes.... very

 

Always happy to help

 

I just press back up to get out of the guide and it goes back to the channel I was watching, I thought it was normal

 

Why thank you, I will bear that in mind lol

 

tone ya would have a nightmare at our house, my little girl has broken our remote somehow (and she cant talk to expalin so just points at it ) and we have to get up to the tv/video to change the channels all the time, last night i watched 3 kings as i couldnt be arsed to get up and change the channel

 

Never knew it did that

Maybe the bit I was getting annoyed about was every time you press TV Guide it starts from the main menu so you have to flick through the pages until you get to the channel you are on for the guide?

I dunno

 

Yeah, that's annoying lol. There should be a seperate bit for your favourites, or at least have the channels in alphabetical order.



PMSL @ Ginge, I would buy a new remote, but 3 Kings isn't a bad film

 

keep meaning too, i can actually get one FOC as my cousin works in the factory that produces em, shes also got the one of the development remotes for sky plus that was a normal remote with a chip under the batt cover, just i dint watch enough tv to be that bothered yet

besides when my little girl gets older we cant get her to change the channels

she already brings us the phone when it rings

 

It would be better if when you pressed TV Guide it started from the channel you are currently watching!

 

Cor it's all want want want with you innit Maybe you could write in

 

i think i prefer seeingall the channels as then ya see the programs ya might have forgoten about

if ya wanna do it from the program ya on then search channel by channel, thats a function i fooking hate

i also hate the press red function at the top that always resets every time ya change channel

 

what favorite channels, i watch paramount, ukgold, men and motors, bravo and there all local to each other , was gonna go cable but there all over the shop

 

Is there anyway of turning off the crap tunes they play when your scrolling thru the tv guide?

 

That is a bloody good question!

 

bill i get at times the the program i was watching when scanning through, also noticed that if ya scan though the channels too much the fooker crashes

i wanna know is there anyway i can get rid of mic jagger bollox on the starting screen

"THEN COME OWWNNNNN,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, press the RED BUTTON"





( never knew how much i hated about sky till this post )

 

RichardPON, Its like being stuck in a lift

b19bal, Spot on mate

 

s there anyway of turning off the crap tunes they play when your scrolling thru the tv guide?

This is under the service menu somewhere

 

you better be kidding me as ive had to listen to that for 6 years

 

In the service menu, you can turn it off or down, can't remember, but you can do it

 

The background music was the same as Colin Mcrae 3 for a while, which was OK. To turn off is pretty tricky NOT...
SERVICES
2
Background Music = OFF
RTFM b19bal

Phil - if you want to see whats on the current channel, just use the right arrow and you'll get about 6hrs worth of future programs. Search n scan baby!

Newts

 

That Backgroung music is hair-tearingly bad after a while, cheers for the solution Newts but that looks a bit too complicated to me!!

 

Get a TiVo, records stuff you didn't know existed

Haven't been in sky's programme guide for ages

 

Just learn the numbers from the channels you most frequently watch m8

As said, 127 is Paramount, 208 Is Friendly / Babecast, 401 is Sky Sports 1, 301 is Sky Movies 1 ( i think i got them the right way round lol) 101 is BBC 1 440 is MTV, E4 is 163 I think,

POP m8

 

now thats loooooooong
