Hey guys, new with the digital decoder, is there any way to set the thing to skip channels when surfing? Namely the movie ones we don't have?

Also, is there any plans to make discovery channel widescreen letterboxed?

Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "widescreen letterboxed" - I gather you're meaning when will Discovery be true widescreen rather than 4:3 letterboxed like it is now?

The answer to that isn't known - the discovery channel feed for this part of the world (which I believe is put together in Singapore) isn't yet 16:9 and I'm not aware of any actual timeframe for this to happen. It is damn annoying because most Discovery content is 16:9 now hence the reason most shows are shown in 4:3 letterbox.

What I meant was would discovery programming ever get done like channel 1-2-3 with the widescreen thing, but yeah you've answered my question.

Any takers on the channel skip?

Hi, if you've got the universal remote... push: DTV/Menu/ok/favourite channels/ok/highlight a channel & push OK to save it. Once you've setup; all your fav' channels browsing with the up/down arrows skips the ones not saved.
