Parents just got sky...

Zascar

My parents are technologically clueless but they've just got sky. Rather than trying to teach them how to use the menu, does anyone know where I can get a printable list of the channels that I can print out for then, with just the 20 or so they watch?

set up the channels as Favourits, then all they have to do is scroll through them using the blue button.


failing that a piece of paper and a pen..

You forgot about the channels up in the 900's

I need to go through this and delete all the channels they don't have as they are only on the basic package - but also slim it down to the ones they would watch etc - there is a lot of junk in there.

Is it possible at all to re order the channels on sky? They'd love the 20 or so they watch 99% of the time at the start. Can this be done on sky at all?

Cheers I just did this. What annoys me is that when you click on "TV Guide" you have to then click on another button to get into Favourites. Why can't it default to your favourites? On NTL I only ever use my favourites menu..

Also not having UTV ont he normal menu is a pain in the ass. Sky are a bit gay overall really.

A wee tip to get to the planner a step faster. Just press the play button while viewing and that brings up the planner and then press the favourites button.

UTV will be on Sky EPG in the first quarter of next year apparently

or when you are watching a station press the blue button .
it will scroll through the favs.
