Changing Channels on the HD200

bigbill · #1 06-18-2009, 08:09 PM

I can't believe I cannot find a way to use the keypad to goto a particular channel when watching live from the std hd200 remote. Pressing 6 and enter does nothing. I ran into another issue which really requires that, this morning I went into watching live and it defaulted to a show that was recording right then. I have three tuners, so you wouldn't think that would be an issue except the next channel up or down was on the same HDPVR so I couldn't watch the news.

I know this has to be something simple. I looked at all the FAQ's and checked the manual for the HD200. Its very odd I can't find anything on that except using the channel up/down.

Works for me, at least for non-OTA (ie not x.y) channels.

Do you have any customizations installed which might be using the number input for something else?

You should be able to enter channels like "2-1" using the dash button on the remote. If using a custom remote, you just need to make sure a button is assigned to that command.

I never even noticed that button

Wow, the dash button did it. Never even saw that. Thanks! Bill
