Hughes HTL-HD questions

[Snipr4x4]

Ok I have my HRMC-17 remote programed to control my whole system but is there a way to set it up so that once I push the SAT button that it will control the volume of my Sony receiver (which is the AUX device) & not the TV's volume ?

When I click the program INFO why does very channel give me the HD icon in blue when every channel is not in HD ?

Will the Hughes receiver do Closed Caption on mute ? or is it a TV feature ?

Another question is there a easy way to remove the PPV channels from the GUIDE ?

Thought you were doing this with the Bose remote?

The dark blue icon means it is not available, this is always there, it will be light-blue on and HD channel. Highlighted like on an computer where the are option you can and cannot choose.

The receiver does CC, go to menu, preference, DTV caption, service 1

Remove channels: Menu, Setup, surf list / ch edit

couldn't hurt to just play with it or crack open that brand spanking new manual either

You should get the remote recommenced by the guy in the other post if you want one. I am using the Sony RM-VL900 but I have no RF ... I bought a Yamaha instead of the Bose because of that. Well also because I wanted to be able to change speakers without changing receivers.

Slacker, I have two surround systems one w/ Bose & one in my bedroom without Bose but with 42" Plasma

The dark blue icon means it is not available, this is always there, it will be light-blue on and HD channel. Highlighted like on an computer where the are option you can and cannot choose.
Ok cool I didn't notice that it changed

The receiver does CC, go to menu, preference, DTV caption, service 1
cool feature

I thought so but its hassle I was hoping for a single check & all PPV would be gone from the guide.

Oh the Bible ?

Actually both of my systems are now working with one remote for everything.

How about my first question, is there a way to set up the Hughes remote so that once I push the SAT button that it will control the volume of my Sony receiver (which is the AUX device) & not the TV's volume ?

anyone . . . .

Is there a easy way to remove the PPV channels from the GUIDE ? I did the following :
Remove channels: Menu, Setup, surf list / ch edit but they are still all shown in the guide only not there while changing from channel to channel.

Ralph, the simple answer is no.

That's one bad thing I don't like about Hughes' remote. Too many buttons are forced to a certain mode.

These buttons should not be forced this way:
"menu" -- always SAT
"volume" -- always TV
"play", "rewind", "fast foward", "pause", "stop" -- always VCR
