Re-order Favourite Channels

TheBlueRaja · 19-03-2004, 13:05

Is there any way i can re-order all my favourite channels withough using the Favourite channel screen.

Its soo bad its not even funny, you need to sit there for ages, click, click, clicking an an attempt to get a channel at the end of the list down near the front.

I long for the days when you didnt see channels your werent subscibed too.

dont think there is a way. I never change mine as NTL frequently decide to change them to a random sequence

Yeah, its really annoying - what the hell is the point of having a TV pack if you have to sit there all day going through the menus just to find what i want.

Even when you do sort them, any new channels appear at the bottom of the list.

The only way to avoid channels to which you are not subscribed is to move them all to the end of the list.

Shame really. ITV digital had this system where you could select and deselect channels so that you would only see the channels you wanted to see using the channel change '+' and '-' buttons.

took me over 1/2 hour the other day just to sequence everything. Now my thumb aches.

Can I sue ntl for a Repetetive Strain Disorder?

I've got my fave list on computer so I can remember the order easier.
Then I tend to go up with one channel and down with another, rather than say, send one channel up and then go down for another etc.
That way your always moving at least one channel into position.
It made sense in my ed.

Wow looks like playing some sort of solitaire type game, continually searching for the optimum least moves - You could be at it all week

lol, i cant wait for the ability to rearrange my channels

Stupid question, but do some people have to regulary change the favourite list?

Just asking because I've only had to change it twice, once when we got the CR3 update and when I got a new stb.

That's what I was trying to think of, LOL

Perhaps someone on here could write a program that will show how to get from the opening order to the one you want in as few moves as possible.

Don't think a bubble sort will do the job.
