Web Remote Access only allows 50 favorites, why?

kokopelli_1 · ‎02-07-2010

I don't have HD, so when I go to the Web access I like to only see the channels before the 1000+ channels. So I decided to use the "favorites" (the yellow stars). I only selected my favorites (about 45 channels). I then decided to select more and when I tried to select the 51st one, I got an error telling me I can only have 50 favorites. Why would then limit it to that? Seems like they should let you select as many as there are. Obviously, if you select all you are defeating the purplse of "favorite", but why limit it... It can't be that much memory to store, say, 200 favorites?

Wow do we make suggestions to AT&T for changes like this?

Thanks.

As an alternative....if you never use any of the HD channels....you could go to MENU/OPTIONS/CHANNEL OPTIONS/HIDE CHANNELS on your remote and just hide all those HD channels. That would leave only the SD channels on your Guide. However, you still would be able to punch in individual HD channels to watch them if you want. On the other hand....I've found that I sometimes enjoy watching the HD version of a channel....even on my SD TV set. Framing is a little off but the picture is sharper. Just some thoughts for your consideration.

I've already done that on the DVR. I'm talking about the "web remote access" only.

Thanks

I missed that. What's the old saying?......blind in one eye and can't see out of the other. That's me. While I have used the web access on several occasions I have not seen anyway to do what you want to do. But then....I confess....I haven't looked very hard either. Sorry.

As a GUI developer, I am very impressed with that web access. They did a great job. Lots of little things that you would expect but you don't usually get. Try it out. I love it and use it more than the TV interface. I love being able to look at shows coming up from work. The only complaint is limiting your favorites to 50. If they made it 100 of 200 that would be great.

Is there a place to suggest enhancements?

Thanks
