Removing channels

When I use my remote I am often pressing the + and - keys to change channel rather than tapping in the number. I often want to go from Film24 to news24
(this is because I often view in the dark and have a problem seeing the numbers)
but inbetween are these porn channels.
I never watch them and want them gone from my TV so how can I prevent those channels being displayed?

we have a samsung box (silver one)
I just find it boring they are there as I never use them.
If I cant do it from the set-top box will VM remove them for me ?

Re: Removing channels

If you press the home button, then settings no 8, then lock channels no 3, your taken to a screen with all the available channels, to lock out the adult ones just press the yellow button.
When you next flick through these channels all you will see is a VM page asking for your PIN if you want to watch, like the movies or sport.

Re: Removing channels

Or set up favourites, as shown in Page 13 of this guide

Create your own TV guide.
If there are some channels you watch
more than others, you can create a list
of your favourite ones. It works just like
a tailor-made TV guide, showing you only
what’s on your favourite channels. Your
Favourites also work like shortcuts, letting
you get straight to the TV you want to
watch without having to scroll through
the rest of the channels.
Setting your Favourites:
You can add or remove channels from
your Favourites any time you like, via
the Home Page.
Press Home or Guide Guide .
Choose Settings.
Select your favourite channels from
the list then press OK to add them
and OK to remove them.

Using Favourites:
There are two easy ways to use
your Favourites.
Either press Favourites Fav on your
remote or press red when you’re
in the Mini Guide.
Then use the Up, Down, Left and Right
arrow buttons to scroll through them.
And press OK to skip straight to

that channel.
