YES HD in NY Market

[Duffycoug]

It's pretty annoying that they make the SD YES and SD Mets channels first in the order, so I have no way of toggling between the HD Yanks and HD Mets channels. SD YES is the first 622 that is displayed when you type that channel, and you must channel up to get to the HD YES. The same is true for the Mets....channel 625 is SD then you must channel up to get to the HD channel 625....therefore, making it impossible to just hit previous to go between Met and Yankee games in HD. They seemed to think of this when programming the locals, ie. 2, 4,5 and 7 all have the HD channel first, so you can toggle between two HD shows on the locals, why wouldn't they do this for the baseball???????

Also, before someone posts it I've already made a custom channels list and taken the SD 622 and SD 625 out of the lists, but they still come up when you type that number even though they are supposed to be OUT!!

Toggling is simple. Go to one of the channels, then using the guide, go to the other. You can then toggle between the two. Simple!

Seems like that would work......I'm gonna try it.....they still should list the HD channel first at all times, they do it for the locals. Thanks Raoul!

I use the guide to tune in for just about everything. So yes, just use the guide, tune to the HD version of one. Then guide, tune to the HD version of the other then simply use the previous button to toggle between them.

Alternate since they are so close together. Use the blue button to bring up the mini-guide. Then just tune to the HD version of each one and again previous toggles between them.

Another way is to set both HD games to record, then toggle between them.

Why not make a favs list and simply not include YES SD and SNY SD in it?

[Duffycoug]

I already did the favorite list, it does nothing to help......but the other suggestion with the guide is perfect.

[bonscott87]

Making a favorite list to take out the SD channels don't help if you directly punch in the channel number.

Yes... it is quite annoying. I hope D* is taking notice of our displeasure with the current situation.

One fix is to number the HD and SD versions of the same channel uniquely. It's on the Wish List.

Even the way it is now, however, the HD channel should definitely come up first, like the network MPEG-4 locals do. Unfortunately, user interface consistency is not one of the HR20's strong points at this time. Sigh. /s
