wrote: Thanks for your reply Satch but it does not address the problem. As stated in my post, i know how to set favorites within the menu but there is no way to set them within the guide? There are too many unnecessary steps to back out of the guide and go into the menu and after several clicks finally arrive at the favorites screen.
If i am in the Guide, there is no way that i can find to set a channel as a favorite. Going into the favorites menu, only channel numbers and call station abbreviations are listed. How is a customer to know what type of programming is on that channel without flipping needlessly between the Fav menu and the guide, which take quite a few steps. Not user friendly at all. Maybe i'm just missing something here.
Well,
All you have to do when you make your Favorites List is press the FAV button on your remote One of the following will happen:
1.) If the Time Grid is on the screen- The FAV will tune to the next Favorite Channel in your list. A star in the Time Grid in the left-hand corner of the screen indicates a Favorite Channel.
2.) If the Time Grid is Not on Your Screen- The next Favorite Channel auto-tunes when FAV is pressed.
3.) Pressing Guide Twice filters the guide, with the option to show only Favorite Channels in the Time Grid.
Those are the current options with Spectrum's ODN Guide. Spectrum Guide I am sure is similar. It sounnds like you want an option to instantly favor a channel in the guide by having that as an option in the Time Grid when taking action on a program? For example in Time Grid options:
- Record Show
- Record Series
- Record Series with Options
Option #4 (Propsed update option) Make This Channel A Favorite. (With option to Remove Channel from Favorites if already a favorite.)
It is not possible at this time to add/remove favorite channels directly from the ODN Guide Time Grid, but I could see how that would be a welcome update option! (Not needing to go into Settings to add/remove channel favorites.) Good update suggestion!
