Hide channels I do not get in guide

Sometimes after a search, more than one hit on the search term will result.  We have (unknowingly) requested RECORD on a channel that we do not get, so that when we try to play a recording, we learn that we did not get it because we do not subscribe to that channel.  This would not happen if only the channels that are in our plan appeared in the guide.  The settings instructions to show only those channels we get seem not to work.

Right, that is what search is for to find all channels that program is on including On Demand.  To record a series on a certain channel you use the guide to highlight it then press record twice.

I have followed the steps to set "channels I get" but they are ineffective.  

Guide still shows channels not in my plan

Try a red button reset and regardless of what you set up for channels in the guide search will still bring up all channels.

It is not the SEARCH I am concerned with, it is the guide.  We request DVR from the Guide only to learn later that we do not subscribe to that channel

Even with your Guide 1 or 2 that you set up, it still shows channels you can't get.  Fix the software please!

Thanks - I am aware of this - however, I do NOT want to have to take the time to set up favorites one by one. I just want to open my guide and see ONLY the channels I get!    Where is that feature???  Every time I try this - ALL those (Edited per community guidelines) spanish channels show up!!!!!!    All of a sudden there are hundreds

Spanish channels are part of the channels you get so unless you set up a custom list you will always see them.

You can go to the channel then go to custom 1 or 2 and select add to custom 1 or 2.
