I have a favourite channel list set that I use almost all the time. I am aware that this is not reflected in the EPG lineup.

What I have noticed since the new firmware is that something (everyday) is causing the Foxsat HDR to keep going to the default "TV" listing. I can not work out what is causing this but I am finding it irritating. Does anybody else suffer this or can anybody offer any info on how to stop it?
Cheers.

Nobody experience this? I have narrowed it down to when it records something I have scheduled.

In 2 years I have never seen any need to use Fav listings..tried it when bought and it baffled me so have not needed since..Poss others are similarly placed?

I like to have the channels that I only want to see and in an order I like and I thought using the favourites setup was the only way to do this??

Like stanandjan I have never used favourites so would not be in a position to comment on pre/post V1.00.15.

It's not however the only way, you can simply delete channels you don't want and in this case the epg does follow. You can't change the order though.

I've actually set my favourites up, but never used it. Just seems easier going through the guide, just incase you miss something thats on and its not on your favourite channel.

Never used it but I suspect that the 1.00.15 housekeeping complete download is something to do with it - if it was remembered with 1.00.13..

Exactly, I always use the guide and from what I recall, the favourites is just a list of channels without a guide so its worthless to most people.

Whilst knowing it's worthless to you I was actually looking for help rather than knowing you think it worthless. If you have not used how can you state it's worth?

Thanks for the replies I think as mentioned it may be to do with the new housekeeping. That's a real pain for me.

I have seen a post "in another place" that said the same - I do suspect that the new channel download is responsible. I would try Humax support and tell them until 1.00.15 it always used to work if that is the case and ask why has it changed.

Hi Repassac

I think that a good suggestion. I can't imagine they will fix it but I think it "worth" while me letting them know just in case. Cheers.

At least they know and have it registered as repeatable.

Hi Flyer
I must admit I am not confident this will be fixed any time soon if at all now. Funny because I had this issue a few years back but they sorted this with the 13 firmware but the last update has now made this worse than originally with the default "TV" having to be changed two three times a day.

I just can't go back to no favourites.
