Listing channels by satellite?

[bassist]

Next dumb newby question:

Is their a way of sorting the channels listed (by hitting the 'guide' button) by which satellite they are found?

I wish there was. You have to sort manually.

You can, if you don't want to see ALL the channels in your entire list in one panel. If you are watching a channel on a specific satellite, press OK, then EXIT, EXIT and your blue highlight will be at the selection menu at the top of the screen. From here, you can select ALL / SATELLITE / GENRE / PROVIDER / COUNTRY / FTA-CAS / FAV. If you select SATELLITE, you will see only the channels on the satellite that you select from the list below.

Thanks Radar!! I'll try this tomorrow after santa gets done at our house. This sounds like it's better than trying to figure out what is what on the 'all-channel' page

Can't do sort by sat in the Favs though, unless I'm missing something.

No, the channels you enter in the FAVs will be dispersed over the entire arc as you would normally enter just one or a few channels from each satellite and there is no way to sort them per individual sats.

Well, there is a way, but it isn't typical. You could create a favorite category for each satellite that you normally visit and then just put your favorite channels from that one sat in that one list. That is a way to do it. This would be a good way to deal with sats such as Galaxy 19 Ku @ 97.0°W with so many channels to wade through.

I think you are almost unlimited in the number of favorite groupings that you can create. And you can put a channel in more than one group, if you wish to.
