I am having a strange problem when using the channel up/down buttons on my MCE remote. When using the TV-guide or the Channels-button, I get only the channels I have enabled in tvsetup. But when I use channel up/down, I cycle through ALL channels, not just the ones I have selected.

Am I the only one with this problem? And if so.. What am I doing wrong?

Have tried searching the forums, but I can't find anything related.

TVchannels ticked will appear in TVguide, unticked channels are still there, so scrolling using the program + - will go through all tuned channels, like adding a channel to favourites on a TV.

If you do not want those channels at all then delete them.

Thanks for the explanation Paranoid Delusion!

However, I find this "feature" rather strange. Why use two different channellists? Why would you want to access the diabled channels at all?

Somebody may want a shopping channel LOL

Hahahaha.. LOL

Good one!!

But really, if they had access to this "SHOPPING CHANNEL", why couldn't they just include it in their channel-list?

Alternate solution: make it possible to turn this "feature" off/on..

TVGuide to long, i have 27 active channels that are used daily\weekly, with another 10+ not shown in guide.

It's just a personal preference, but it should maybe have a note of this behaviour in setup\tvchannels, ie "Unticked channels will not show in TVGuide, but are available when scrolling programs", or something of that nature, and this is not in the wiki.

God help some of the Guy's that have 2000+ channels to play with.
