Yes press menu, installation, user installation enter your pin 0000, then you select the colour for the powerscan option. When the next screen appears scroll down to (fav sort) and by pressing the right arrow button switch it to off DO NOT press the OK button just exit then press red to update channels and let it do its thing. You can follow the same procedure for a manual scan also if needed. Once the scan has completed you will find your new channels at the end of your full channel list which is accessed by pressing the TV button, you can then add the channels to your favourites if you like.

Excellent advice man, you don't lose your channel order. Now I've got all the new Sly Channels. I was dreading having to sort out all the channels again.

Big thank you Gadgetfiend

red max doesnt have autosort, autoscan already works without messing channel order or favourites...

Thank you for this, however, I have not managed to pick up the new channels.

Followed the steps mentioned above, but could not yield anything. What category does Sly1 fall under?
