Issue with Contour box and setting my favorite channels
Well I basically gave up on my old cable box and the 'Recording Error' messages so got a replacement box. They gave me the new Contour 2 record DVR for the same cost and service (according to them). Some of the things I need to figure out like I had the hate new search process and I lost a component plug in and need a HDMI splitter to connect to TV and my DVD player.
But my biggest headache so far is setting favorite channels. I keep adding the same channels over and over again. When I add the channels that were lost the first time I keep them and lose some of the previous ones. Has anyone else had this issue? is there some kind of limit to how many favorite channels you can set because I do have a ton of channels on my list?
Thanks

How was your old box connected? How many HDMI ports does the TV have?
Can you try making a new user and setting the favorites.

My TV had 2 HDMI ports but one was being used for my Roku and other was used for either my blu ray or for laptop. Was using my components for cable. I recently bought a HDMI splitter so that could give me an extra port for my Contour box. Then I can use the one component in box for DVD. Need to buy an extra HDMI cable though.
As far as favorites it seems to be saving much better lately after creating a new user instead of the default

Why do you have a DVD player and a Blu-ray player? DVDs play just fine in BD players. In fact if you have an older DVD player, DVDs will look better in the BD player.
