Sky Freesat - can I hide missing channels?

nanokitten

I recently got my old sky box plumbed in as a 'freesat from sky' box.
The only thing is the menu still shows all the channels, even the ones I don't get (eg sky 1) which is really annoying and makes surfing and finding channels I do have tedious.

Anyone know of a way to hide unwanted channels in the menu?

I don't know of way to do exactly what you are asking but you could set up favourite channels (services>favourite channels) and mark the channels that you do receive as favourites. Then press blue in the TV guide to just see what's on on your favourites. Can also press blue (repeatably) whilst watching something to go through your fav channels with the guide bar thing.

Indeed, that is the ony option on a Sky Receiver, no way of deleting or hiding channels, Sky don't want you to do that.

Sadly my blue button has died from overuse otherwise that would be great.
