Exploiting FiOS TV Favorites (IMG 1.8)

I think many FiOS TV users do not realize how useful the Favorites function of the Interactive Media Guide can be, so I have put together a document describing how I have mine set up. Perhaps you will find it useful: Link 

Note: I created the document as a PDF and linked to it from here so that I can easily make changes if needed. If you find this information useful, great! If you don't, please just ignore it. And if you find any errors, or have additional information you think should be added, please post it. Thanks.

Justin, you are right!  I didn't realize they have a Flip By Favorites setting.  This setting is the only one I changed, and now the channel up/down buttons only bring up Fav 1 channels.  Unrelated to this problem, on the DVR, once in a while I hit the Channel Up (or down) button and the TV displays the new channel number and info for a few seconds, dissappears, but the channel doesn't change.  This occurs about once every hour.  This never occurs on my regular FIOS STB.  Any one else seen this?  Thanks.

Nice job on the guide.  It is really helpful when holding the remote.  However, I am really looking for how to view just your favorites when on line and/or setting up your favorites for the TV while online.

I don't have the DVR, but would like to be able to look at my favorites, set up my favorites, and maybe set up reminders from my computer.  I am not home all day, but sometimes would like to plan my evening.

If there were some way to view just the channels I can recieve would be an improvement over the current method. 

Any help appreciated

First, thanks for the kind comment.

While I am not completely sure what you are looking for, I can say that if you did have a DVR you would be able to set up, view, and change your Favorites list on that DVR (does NOT have to be a multi-room DVR). The non-DVR STBs, at least the ones I have, do not have any way to access them from the internet; I have no idea whether Verizon might implement something like that in the future. Also, fyi, the non-DVR STBs have a reminder function, the DVRs do not, although it is rumored to be coming.

You can always hope, Verizon employees do participate in these forums, so maybe your needs will get into the pipeline. In the meantime getting a DVR would provide most of what you want I think, plus you get all of the nice things about recording stuff to watch later.
