Hi All,
Is there a way to change the order of the channels on the SKY+ box?
I still don't see the point of markingthe favourites either, so it would be helpful if the channels could be placed in order that one usually watches them.
Thanks

No way whatsoever - the best you can do is set up your favourite channels which can be accessed through the blue button.

One reason for why Sky won't let you do this is that certain channel numbers are worth quite a bit of dosh. The lower EPG slot numbers cost more than higher numbers, and this is also reflected in why some channels don't lie neck to neck (i.e. parent channel and their +1 channels) as this would make sense; but since some of these came later than the original channels on to the EPG they are further down the list...

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Maybe the new style EPG will help (if your Sky box works after it is uploaded)
