Channel up - down

I want channel up - down to only select Favorite channels.  My device when using channel up - down goes to all the channels.  Really annoying.  Is there a way to set the remote so when you use channel up - down it only selects or scrolls through the Favorite channels?

Thanks!

Hi @opalfields Happy to check the options for your channel up-down!

If you are referring to DIRECTV satellite the channel up-down Button works for all the channels included in your Programing Guide. Here you can check some options to manage and customize your programing guide.

Feel free to contact us back If you have any other questions.

Again, @DIRECTVhelp doesn't bother checking the forum a question is posted to.  Yay!

But no, the current implementation uses Favorites only as a filter for the program guide - it doesn't affect "surfing", which uses the full channel list (in the order those channels appear in the program guide).  It would be nice if they actually allowed editing of the guide (so you could select the particular channels you are interested in rather than just depending on Favorites, and control what order they appear in the guide) and used the guide entries for surfing also - maybe someday they will add that.
