    Hi,

    Can anyone advise how to scan a UPC STB and receive only the stations that Ive subscribed too. In other words, I do not subscribe/pay for Sky Sports etc, so I dont want the Sky Sports page to come up saying that I need to subscribe when I flick through stations. I only want the stations that I subscribe to to appear.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Thanks

    It's not possible.

    Use Channel + and -

    Unlike Sky, it skips the channels you're not subscribed to, but will appear in the TV Guide

    Thanks for that.

    Thought I was doing that last nite; but I'm using a Logitech remote; I don't use the UPC one - so maybe that makes a difference.

    It should work regardless.

    My HD box has, occasionally, shown me the channels I don't have with the +/- minus buttons for some reason, but its been a case of maybe two or three times in a 6 month period or so.
