Display only subscribed channels
I am surprised that this is not a feature yet here when it has been a feature on other providers using the same equipment (Charter Digital in Oregon and Washington) since the late 90's. I know that bean counters love the up-sale and all, I have the advanced basic package and there are 100's of channels I don't need to see since I don't get them nor want them. I know its as simple as unlocking the programming feature in the box with a simple code since there you have to request it with some packages and they just send a signal and with in a few minutes the option is available. Why can't we get this here???? Other than that I am happy with my service... If only It had this one little thing...

I have set the skipped channels. How do I activate that on the guide? I still see channels that I have marked as skipped when viewing the guide.

What guide are you using? On my 8642HDC/Contour, my skipped channels don't appear in my guide. Make sure you're not marking "favorite channels." I have skipped all Spanish, shopping, kids channels (among others.) They're no longer in my guide.

If Contour does it automatically as suggested then I would suspect you do not have Contour.
Passport then. In the Guide screen, press the A button to sort. "List Channels" will be highlighted. Right arrow over and select "Custom 1". Right arrow over again and select "Use Always".Your skipped channels will now be absent from the guide.
One other point. After you do this, if you ever use the search function in the Guide screen you'll have to do the sort process I described again to remove the skipped channels again. And again after each subsequent search.
And again, and again, and again.....

I do not know to whom you are responding, but the method for selecting "Skipped Channels" (for the Guide as well as up/down on the remote) for the Contour IPG was described early in this thread.

It would appear that My box is not set up with that option. I have a Motorola DCX3400-m. I spent almost an hour and a half setting all of my channels as favorite and just taking the extra steps of selecting GUIDE>SHOW>FAVORITES every time I want to look at the guide. For as often as I actually watch it you would think it isn't a big deal. I maybe only watch 5 hours of TV a week.
