On your Gateway system, you have the option to either show only subscribed channels, or remove individual channels from the channel listings in your interactive guide. This can be done for a number of reasons, including to make channel navigation easier, or to hide certain channels from appearing in the guide, such as those that include mature content. Learn how to remove channels from the guide with the instructions below which apply to both the Gateway and Gateway HDPVR hardware.

Hiding unsubscribed channels

    2. Cycle to Settings

    • Note: This will need to be repeated for any additional portals the customer may have if they wish to do the same on other TV sets
