Navigator's Guide to show only subscribed & HD channels only?

Hello.

Is there a way to do this on my Motorola DCX3519 DVR? It doesn't seem like there is a way to do it?

Thank you in advance.

Go to the guide then press the guide button again and it gives you a options of all channels, subscribed, or genres.

Thanks, but can I tell it to show only HD subscribed channels? Or is that only in the newer DVRs like yours?

Yeah, I can filter to subscribed channels only. No way to show HD only with it too. It sounds like the newer DVR can't do it too. Thanks anyways.

Do you have the new national line up? If so, there is no reason to only show HD as it will show the channel in HD automatically.

this is to remove SD channels completely from the guide. TWC has it available again on ODN 7.3.1_5 .

Oh interesting. With so few channels left that do not have an HD version I just figured it would not do much. Plus, with "Subscribed" selected, I would want to at least see the channels I pay for and have access to.

Some channels are still in SD like HBO, Cinemax, NBA League Premium, etc.

Yes, but if you are paying for those premium channels wouldnt you like to be able to see them? Some of those are $10+ a month. I am a SD picture snob like the rest of you but if I was paying extra for the channels I wouldnt turn my nose at them.

Sure, but some stuff should be in HD esp(ecially) with the newer contents like live sports, recent (movie/film)s, etc. I am OK with very old stuff though.

All Direct TV, Dish, Verizon Fios, and Charter has DIY HD. TWC is the only cable company in LA that doesn't have DIY HD.
