I need to limit the viewable channels on one settop to a specific list (not all subscribed), and not just using a favorite list. Eldery people trying to use a settop with hundreds of channels end up totally lost. They also don't know how to use a favorite list, and if they did know, they'd forget, or decades-long ingrained habits would override it. He doesn't know how to use the guide, after having FiOS for 12 years.
I can't go and delete every channel (subscribed or not) in order to limit the viewable channels; it would take forever.
Is there some trick I'm missing? Thanks

Like previous poster said you have to setup favorites. It's very easy
Settings/System/Favorite Channels/Favorites 1/Addor Remove Channels then hit OK on the only the channels you want.
If he doesn't use the guide after setting up the favorites then go
Settings/System/Favorite Channels/Flip by Favorites/Favorites 1
After that when if you hit the channel button you will only flip to the channels in your favorite list. Even if you accidentally type in a channel by accident next time you hit channel button it will go to the first favorite channel.
That's the purpose of favorites.
Create a list. And then make it default guide.
Yes, they can still enter random channels, but it should generally meet what you are looking for.
