Turning off H21-100 "features"

Anyone? Can't be done?

I just migrated from an ancient Hughes receiver to an H21-100. Is there any way to do the following:

1. Turn OFF the annoying Autotune warning before a programmed channel change?

2. In the guide, sort channels by name rather than number?

3. When listening to XM radio channels, see the artist, song title, cd title, label, etc. for the song being played.

My old Huges did #2 and #3 and didn't bother me with #1.

#2 Doesn't look like it.

#3 It is just in the blue info bar.... They have the info bar up at all times that has the info on it. As for when the screen saver flips on there is nothing. (But supposedly there is a CE that has the title info in the screen saver mode.)

As for number 1, I have no clue what your talking about.

If you want it to autotune but don't give you the message, I was not able to find any way. If you really don't want to use autotune, you can change the autotune to some channel event that occurs when you don't ever watch TV (like maybe 3 AM) or change it to a single event rather than recurring and once it passes, it won't bother you again. I have not found a way to effectively "delete" any autotune event leaving it with none. Mine set up an autotune when I installed it as some "odd" show that I had never watched or heard of. I changed it to something useful to me but I don't seem to able to delete all auto tune events.

Hope this helps.

I recently picked up an H21 and Samsung LCD to use as my second TV, I like to have the NFLST Game Mix HD channel on it while I have a game on my DVR and bigger TV. The problem is that it keeps going into a "screen safe" mode where the screen goes dark gray over the Game Mix channel and I have to hit buttons to get out of it. Is there any way to turn this "feature" off? It just seems stupid to me to have it on that channel when there are people all over the country who have LCD TV's stuck on a specific channel all day whether it be news, sports or XM.

I think there is an on-screen instruction on how to disable the screen saver until the channel is changed. Much like on the news mix channel. I've tuned the news mix channel, I'll edit this post whenever that screen shows up.

Okay, finally went into that mode. Pres dash twic to disable screensaver.
