How to Remove a Channel From a DVR Favorite

Many digital video recorder (DVR) boxes enable you to manage a list of your favorite channels. Taking a few minutes to personalize the list can greatly streamline your channel surfing so that you'll only see the programming you want to see when browsing your cable or satellite's guide. Your favorite lists are saved onto the memory of the DVR box, but of course you can also remove channels from these lists. On most of these devices, removing a channel is just as easy as adding one.
