Samsung LE40M87BDX any way to define input order?

Hi, I have a Samsung LE40M87BDX TV and recently got Sky+ HD installed, is there any way I can set the TV to switch to HDMI 2 (sky) automatically when the set it turned on rather than having to cycle through the other inputs first?

Well I have not found anyway to do it so if anyone knows I would be glad of the advice also. I just make sure that when I turn the TV off it's left of the correct HDMI input. Then when turning on again I press TV on the Sky HD controller followed by on, followed by Sky. I have tried using Various macros on the Sky HD remote but could not get anything to work. I think it's due to lack of HDMI CEC control on the Sky HD box, my BD player & HD DVD player Automaticaly go to the correct input Via CEC (Anynet).

My input menu has a 'move' option but it just sends me back to main screen.

Pretty annoying.

I have the same TV

The macros wont work as there is no 1 button press to select and external input whether it is HDMI , scart etc.

I will be looking for this on future TV purchases.

I find this very annoying. Apparently Panasonics do auto select, but dont quote me on this.

DID YOU KNOW, press tv on the sky remote, the help button will scroll through the inputs.

The PS3 doesent auto select either.
