    Nope. You can put the ones you watch into your Favourites list, that's all.

    As many as you like. You could even put them all in though that might not make much sense :D

    I'd love to know BuzzTV's viewer figures. I'd be curious if anyone watches it at all. I'm yet to hear anyone praise it.

    would have been nice if you could arrange the channels, and reasign channel numbers to them, to suit your own needs.

    Well i can wish, and after all we are talking about UPC here. :cool:

    That's odd. I wonder why? Surely UPC didn't think we'd be happy with a channel for the sake of a channel, and actually researched it somewhat. :D

    And I don't mean channel for the sake of a channel, like a "+1", I mean a channel which is actually nothing else: just a number on the guide, with no content.

    On NTL boxes there's an option in the EPG to put your favourites first in Browse. There doesn't seem to be a way of doing this on UPC-branded boxes however.

    you're wrong there ICDG, you can set favourites on the UPC-branded boxes (Thomson DVR and Pace D4A). To set favourites, go into TV Guide main menu (the one with all the categories), press the yellow button to bring up a list of channels, and then press the blue button to add/remove a channel to your favourites as appropriate.

    Will this put them in the browse menu though?

    Doesn't quite have the same effect as on the NTL boxes.

    On the NTL boxes, setting a channel as a favourite and then selecting the Favourites First option puts the favourites first in the Browse option. So pressing left and right in Browse first scrolls you through your favourites by EPG no and then you get all the other channels. For example, on my NTL box, I used to have the four Irish and the four UK terrestrials as favourites, so that in Browse, I got the UK terrestrials before City Channel, Setanta, and Channel 6.

    On the UPC boxes its a bit different. You have to press blue in Browse (mini-Guide) to toggle between listing **just** your favourites and then listing all your channels. It doesn't reorder the channels putting the favourites first, and then the other channels like the NTL boxes do though.
