Makes sense, but using the favorites list is the only way to hide all of those annoying QVC and shopping channels in the guide, hence why it's necessary.
You'd think that if the channel is already in your favorites list in SD, and the SD feed gets removed entirely and replaced with the HD feed, that it would just update automatically -- same thing with the timers for scheduled recordings, so you don't have to set them up again on the HD feed, but that's not the case obviously. I understand if the SD feed was still available, then it would make sense to give you the option of whether you want to record the channel in SD or HD, but if you're taking out the SD feed completely and replacing it with the HD feed, and it's still the exact same channel number in the guide, there's no reason why it can't just automatically re-add the HD feed to the guide and update the timers in the DVR for scheduled recordings.
It's true. They have one classic science fiction show. Twilight Zone. And that's it. Everything else they air is movies and horror shows that should be on Chiller, but aren't because no one was watching that channel, so they axed it and moved half the stuff over to Syfy instead.
The only shows I've been watching on the channel recently are Killjoys and Krypton.
Killjoys has 2 episodes left and then it's done. Krypton was canceled a month ago. This channel is useless now. What happened to the days when they used to air good sci-fi shows like Star Trek and Stargate?
In fact, the other day I saw two separate promos on the channel advertising their 2003 Galactica series and Xena Warrior Princess... but that they're only available on their App. You're telling me you can't find one single hour a week out of 140 to air those shows on your TV channel? I mean, what kind of nonsense is that? Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the rebooted Galactica, but that was their own original production. Why they wouldn't want to have that at least somewhere on their schedule is beyond me. Same goes for every other original series they've produced, or continue to produce. It's like everything they do is a one-off thing. They greenlight a series, produce it for 2 or 3 seasons, then cancel it and never air the show again. What a disgrace to the sci-fi genre.
