@BTDave

Favourites allow your favourite / most frequently watched channels to be moved to numbers 1 to 99, so you could have BBC1 as number 1, BBC2 as number 2 etc, therefore meaning less button pressing when changing to one of those channels.

Yes, it's a nice big upgrade compared with Sky+HD before it. On that system you can nominate favourites, but other than the "favourites" view which hides the non-favourites, there's nothing else offered.

With SkyQ favourites can be re-ordered into whatever order you like and get copied into the 1-99 range. You are no longer tied to the channel order dictated by someone else.
